| Sunday morning Israeli speaker series!
This exciting monthly series is modeled after CNS's Sunday morning programs. We have solicited Israeli speakers to talk briefly about their life and studies in Israel and give an informal lecture in their area of expertise. We are fortunate to have lectures covering a variety of fields: law, social and environmental issues, literature, and performing arts.
The series will meet Sundays 10:15 - 11:45 starting on October 14, meeting the second Sunday of the month in 2012 and the first Sunday of the month in 2013.
Upcoming talks:
November 11. Judicial review in Israel. Professor Barak  Medina, Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Israeli Law, Economy, and Society at UC Berkeley Law School.
December 9. Green settlement? The politics of environmentalism in Israel past and future. Miri Lavi-Neeman, doctoral candidate, environmental politics, Department of Geography, UC Berkeley
January 6. Our hope is not yet lost: how performance art illuminates Israeli conflicts Stav Palti-Negev, M.A., Performance Studies, New York University
February 3. A tale of a forest - the Yatir afforestation in the Negev desert - and how the anthroposphere controls its existence and resilience to climate change. Naama Raz-Yaseef, postdoctoral scholar, Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, UC Berkeley. |
