2/18 TALK | Protests, corruption, and civil rights during COVID
Last summer in the US, there were protests around the (mis)handling of the COVID crisis; around the same time, Israel was also embroiled in public protests. What can we learn from looking at this movement against corruption during COVID?
Join human rights lawyer and visiting international studies faculty member Smadar Ben-Natan on Thursday, February 18 from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm to learn how Israel’s handling of COVID last summer figured into political controversy and public protests.
Ben-Natan recently received a Guggenheim Foundation grant to support her research on incarceration in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In Spring 2021, she will teach Incarceration in the US and Israel (LSJ 490 B/JSIS 478 A, MW 3:30 pm-5:20 pm, 5 I&S).
