Prof. Yehezkel Landau In Demand as Speaker on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Prof. Yehezkel Landau, Associate Professor of Interfaith Relations, will be speaking in three different places this week about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prof. Landau said he has received many invitations to speak since the conflict this summer.

On Monday, Sept. 29, Prof. Landau will be conducting a three-part in-house training for Vassar College administrators, students, faculty, and chaplains on how to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without polarizing and recriminations.

On Wednesday, Oct. 1, he will be part of a global forum called “Healing the Palestinian­‐Israeli Conflict” at the McMahon Learning Community Lounge at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. That program,  which starts at 7 p.m., will be led and moderated by Jeremy Pressman, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Middle East Studies at UConn. In addition to Prof. Landau, the panel will include Adam Antar ,a recent graduate of the UConn International Studies MA program. Adam is the founder of UConn Students for Justice in Palestine.

On Friday afternoon, Oct. 3, Prof. Landau will be lecturing on “Healing the Holy Land” at Fordham University in New York City.
