Naomi Klein - "Palestine, Zionism, and the Doppelganger Effect"

Lang Performing Arts Center Room (LPAC) 102 Pearson-Hall Theatre - Full

Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author. She is a columnist with The Guardian. In 2018 she was named the inaugural Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair at Rutgers University and is now Honorary Professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers. In September 2021 she joined the University of British Columbia as UBC Professor of Climate Justice (tenured) and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice.

This event is part of the South Africa to Gaza: World History and the Politics of Accountability series.The series draws its title and framing from the ICJ hearings on the Convention to Prevent and Punish the Crime of Genocide as it relates to Gaza. It is intended to create space for the sorts of thoughtful, informed dialogue on pressing contemporary issues that higher education aspires to produce by bringing internationally-renowned academics, journalists, artists, and legal experts to campus.  


The series is sponsored by the Aydelotte Foundation, the President‘s Fund for Racial Justice, Swarthmore College Libraries, Arabic, Art History, Black Studies, Educational Studies, English Literature, French & Francophone Studies, History, the Intercultural Center, Islamic Studies, Modern Languages & Literatures, Peace & Conflict Studies, Religion, and Sociology & Anthropology.
