The Anthropology Department is pleased to announce this year’s Annual David W. McCurdy Distinguished Anthropology Lecture will feature Professor Ilana Feldman. On Thursday, September 19th at 4:45 p.m., she will present “Life & Death Under Humanitarian Law in Gaza and Beyond,” in the John B. Davis Lecture Hall.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for the presentation and/or for the reception afterward in the Loch.

Professor Feldman’s research focuses on the Palestinian experience, both inside and outside of historic Palestine, examining practices of government, humanitarianism, policing, displacement, and citizenship. She is the author of Governing Gaza: Bureaucracy, Authority, and the Work of Rule, 1917-67; Police Encounters: Security and Surveillance in Gaza under Egyptian Rule; Life Lived in Relief: Humanitarian Predicaments and Palestinian Refugee Politics; and co-editor (with Miriam Ticktin) of In the Name of  Humanity: The Government of Threat and Care.

All are welcome to attend!
