The core faculty of the Barnard WGSS Department stand in solidarity with our students who have experienced a wide variety of emotions and reactions following the disturbing events that have occurred in recent weeks and over multiple decades. We support the Palestinian people who have resisted settler colonial war, occupation, and apartheid for over 75 years, while deploring Hamas’s recent killing of Israeli civilians. As decolonial feminist scholars and educators, we encourage our students to learn about the larger historical context of US-backed and financed Israeli attacks on Gaza and to engage with a range of voices and perspectives analyzing the horrific genocidal violence and ethnic cleansing that we are now witnessing. We offer the resources below, which include webinars, scholarly articles, journalism, and also community spaces of support. We plan to add to this list with additional resources in the days and weeks to come.
