Palestine, Gender and Sexuality Series with Makan & Queercircle Workshop 1: Zionism, Gender, and Sexuality
April 9 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In the first part of our ‘Palestine, Gender and Sexuality’ workshop series, we examine the relationship between colonialism and gender broadly, and examine how this applies in the context of Palestine. This workshop will focus specifically on the role of gender in the construction of Israeli society historically, during the early days of the Zionist movement and the foundation of the Israeli state, before examining how the role of gender in Israeli society has adapted and shifted over time, co-opting progressive ideas but maintaining these same colonial goals.
The workshops in this series prioritise interactivity and invite participants to engage in close reading of texts and images in group discussions, and are interspersed with lecturing.
