What do we talk about when we talk about… with Esra Özyürek

Esra Özyürek (Sultan Qaboos Professor of Abrahamic Faiths and Shared Values, University of Cambridge)

What do we talk about when we talk about … is an irregular series of reading sessions that respond to the acceleration and polarization of public discourse in light of the escalation of violence in Palestine, Israel and the Middle East. The format aims to return to a core skill of critical study, namely reading and discussing texts, sharpening terms and developing concepts. The sessions will be moderated by guests who have already published texts on aspects of this broad field and long conflict. The sessions are open to all students and members of the university. Please register for each session at kunstraum@leuphana.de. Texts will be sent out after registration. All sessions will take place in the Kunstraum with the exception of the session on Jan 28, 2025 that will take place at the Heinrich-Heine-Haus, Lüneburg.

Disclaimer: We ask that everyone follows these guidelines for nonviolent communication. The guidelines can be viewed here.
