Our approach is grounded in a belief that education is a liberatory act that can lay the ground for structural change. Situating Palestine within the context of other human rights\, social justice and global liberation movements\, we work towards transformation by adopting educational approaches that capture the history of the Palestinian struggle and the realities on the ground. We aim to support advocates as part of a community that is not only well-informed\, interconnected\, and empowered\, but passionately committed to cultivating a future for Palestinians built on freedom\, justice\, and dignity. \nAbout TNI: \nThe Transnational Institute (TNI) is an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just\, democratic\, and sustainable planet. For over 50 years\, TNI has served as a unique nexus between social movements\, engaged scholars\, and policymakers. TNI envisions a world of peace\, equity and democracy on a sustainable planet brought about and sustained by an informed and engaged citizenry\, and whose research uniquely combines a ‘big picture’ analysis with proposals and solutions that are both just and pragmatic. Our capacity to build long-term respectful mutual relationships with strategic social movements is helping put radical ideas into movement.

SUMMARY:Zionism\, Gender\, and Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of our ‘Gender\, Sexuality\, and Anti-Colonial Struggle in Palestine’ workshop series\, we examine the relationship between colonialism and gender broadly\, and examine how this applies in the context of Palestine. This workshop will focus specifically on the role of gender in the construction of Israeli society historically\, during the early days of the Zionist movement and the foundation of the Israeli state\, before examining how the role of gender in Israeli society has adapted and shifted over time\, co-opting progressive ideas but maintaining colonial goals.   \nRegister now! \nDeadline: Tuesday 7 July
