Palestinasolidaritet i Skandinavia og verda
Kva er palestinasolidaritet og korleis har det oppstått og utvikla seg globalt?
Hovedinnhold
In this talk, Sune Haugbølle (Roskilde University) shares his research on the connections and ideas that transformed a regional struggle into a global cause from the late 1960s onwards. What was the role of Scandinavia in this story, and how did Danish, Swedish and Norwegian activists contribute to the development of a transnational visual and ideological vocabulary that lives on in the current protests against the war in Gaza?
After the presentation, Pelle Valentin Olsen (UiB) will moderate the discussion and Q&A.
