NYU Tel Aviv is seeking a part-time lecturer to co-teach a course on History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, under the sponsorship of the History Department at New York University. The course will be taught in the Fall 2023 semester (August 31 - December 11, 2023).  For further course content information, please review the sample syllabus.

Course Description

In History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, students will study the main political junctions in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and will connect them to their reincarnations in contemporary times in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza (the Occupied Palestinian Territories). This will include analysis and study of the theoretical frameworks and approaches to the study of the conflict, the history of Ottoman and Mandate Palestine, Zionism, the politics, popular culture and daily life of Israelis and Palestinians. Among the themes that will be studied are the history of Zionism and its various streams, Arab and Palestinian nationalism, the Arab-Jewish identity, the Nakba and the founding of the State of Israel, Israel and the memory of the Holocaust, the Arab-Israeli wars, the Israeli political and legal systems, the Oslo accords and peace negotiations, and contemporary political developments. The course highlights the way current political and cultural elements in the life of Israelis and Palestinians are offshoots of previous processes that shaped the Palestinian and Israeli identity, the sense of belonging, the collective memory and horizons of expectations.
