Makan’s Director, Aimee Shalan, was honoured to be invited by the Palestine Festival of Literature and Fitzcarraldo Editions to MC a landmark event on 20 November at London’s Royal Festival Hall, celebrating Palestinian academic, literary critic, and political activist, Edward Said, one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century.

On 13 November, Makan’s director, Aimee Shalan, joined a brilliant panel of educators and organisers doing powerful work for justice, locally, nationally, and globally – from resisting genocide to fighting for abolitionist futures. This virtual event was co-sponsored by Makan’s partner, PARCEO – a community research, resource and education centre that centres with a range of groups and institutions to strengthen our collective work for justice – and Haymarket Books.
