Join us for a live chat with Yamila (Jamila) live from Ramallah on word usage and terminology.

Dr. Yamila Hussein Shannan (Ed.D, Harvard University) is a scholar, an educator, activist, and public speaker dedicated to socio-economic and political justice. Her work examines how matrices of oppression and liberation operate in the context of settler colonialism and anti-Black racism. Dr. Hussein teaches at the graduate level on the intricate relationship between language, power and (in)justice, critical race theory, the institutionalization of oppression and liberation.

Focusing on schools, her courses interrogate the role of teachers and students in cultivating their political clarity to engage in liberation work towards justice. Prior to her doctorate, Dr. Hussein-Shannan founded and ran Yammita Activity Center for Children, co-founded the Teacher Creativity Center and worked for Defence for Children International in Palestine.

After spending 23 years in the USA, she is currently back home in Palestine.

The session will be held at Satellite in Alserkal Avenue and will be followed by an FAQ.
