Gaza expert in Sydney

Dr Sara Roy & the de-development of Gaza

We are fortunate to have Dr Sara Roy, a political economist from Harvard University coming to Sydney after she delivers the Edward Said Memorial Lecture in Adelaide. 
There will be several opportunities to hear her speak in Sydney but only at the CJPP dinner will you be able to meet her.

Edward Said said of her book Failing Peace: Gaza and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict  that "No one has reported more accurately and scrupulously on the economic devastation attendant on the Oslo process...  Her notion of de-development is a brilliant one."

Remembering Al-Nakba
60 years since 1948 

Sixty years after al-Nakba, with the Palestinian refugees representing the longest-running refugee situation in modern history, the Question of Palestine remains one of the core issues of the international arena.
In Sydney, the Coalition for Justice & Peace in Palestine joins communities around the world in remembering Al-Nakba.
