Sociologists Engage Gaza: Scholarship, Pedagogy and Practice

The ISA has been predicated on the belief that sociology matters and that sociologists can play a transformational role in creating a more just, gender equal and decolonized world. Drawing on sociologists’ writings, public interviews and commentaries, I will discuss how sociologists have challenged and mobilized their professional associations, collaborated with students at universities, and created collectives and solidarities to protest mass displacement, deprivation and deaths in Gaza. The hope is that we will engage in such conversations at the ISA Forum to share how sociologists have been involved in addressing the violence and devastation in Gaza through their scholarship, pedagogy and practice.
