Tonight at Columbia University
Tonight in New York, Professor Richard Falk will deliver the annual Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University. His talk will focus on the present reality and future direction of the Palestinian struggle, taking account of the continuing relevance of Edward Said’s views of the grounds of a sustainable peace and proceeding from his prophetic premise that the two-state approach should no longer becloud our judgment. Richard Falk is Albert G. Professor of International Law and Practice Emeritus at Princeton where he was a member of the faculty for 40 years. He was Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine for the UN Human Rights Council from 2008-2014, and served on a panel of experts appointed by the President of the UN General Assembly, 2008-2009. Tonight’s sold-out event will be live-streamed starting at 6:15 pm EST on the Italian Academy webpage.
