The Weight of Humanity: Gaza, Academia, and Acts of Solidarity

In the first half of the show, Eleanor Goldfield sits down with Dr. Abdalhadi Alijila to talk about his forthcoming book Fearful in Gaza, an autobiographical work that details the lived realities, emotions, connections and contradictions of growing up in Gaza. Dr. Alijila remarks on the changing of academia, once the vanguard of progressive thought and action becoming ever more muted and intellectually impoverished. He speaks on the unending question of humanity, including how social media distorts our view, and the problem of dehumanizing by pedestaling what the occupation has buried beneath subhuman propaganda.
