Please join us for a lecture, "The Ideational Origins of Palestinian Dispossession: Settler Colonialism, Jewish Restoration, and U.S. Foreign Policy," about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, at the Arkansas Union 426.

Michael Samuel is a legal scholar and comparativist focusing on the laws, discourses and institutions that shape the normative relationships between Indigenous communities and the states in which they reside in the Middle East and the Anglosphere. Before his academic career, Samuel worked as a human rights attorney in Israel-Palestine. He earned his J.D. from Boston College Law School and will earn his Ph.D. from Emory University in May 2024.
