Social Justice Steering Committee

The Social Justice Steering Committee hosted a “teach in” on Palestinian education. The workshop was an attempt to examine current issues regarding schools and institutes of higher education operating under difficult conditions in Palestine. At the same time, it was an opportunity to understand how peace education can be a mechanism to promote change and justice in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The workshop ended with a presentation on how U.S. educators can promote social justice and peace when working with Middle Eastern and Muslim students in their classrooms.
