Join us at the Keck Library for a small group discussion with Omar Dajani, who will be giving a talk at the Athenatuem that evening titled Palestine: What Now?

Omar Dajani is the Carol Olson Professor of International Law at the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific, a former legal adviser to the PLO in peace talks with Israel, and the joint board co-chair of A Land for All, an Israeli-Palestinian peace organization. His scholarship, which explores how legal norms operate in the context of international conflict resolution processes and political transitions, focuses on Israel-Palestine. His current research focuses on what’s next for the states of the Middle East. He is exploring the status and protection of ethnic and religious minorities and considering the extent to which federalism and other forms of decentralization offer solutions to ethno-national conflicts in the region.
