As part of a campus-wide encampment in solidarity with Palestine, Dr. Nadia Naser-Najjab led a powerful teach-out session titled The Meaning of Nakba at the University of Exeter. Held on Nakba Day, the session offered a critical exploration of the 1948 displacement of Palestinians and its enduring legacy within the framework of settler colonialism and historical erasure. Drawing from lived experience, scholarship, and community memory, Dr. Naser-Najjab contextualized the Nakba not as a past event, but as an ongoing process of dispossession and resistance.
Her engagement contributed to the broader movement on campus advocating for decolonization, academic solidarity, and ethical institutional accountability in relation to Palestine.
