SUMMARY:Photo exhibition: daughters\, mothers\, grandmothers\, and other sexual outlaws
DESCRIPTION:A new photo exhibit co-curated by Inter Pares and three international social justice organizations documents sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) activism in Bangladesh\, El Salvador and the Philippines. \ndaughters\, mothers\, grandmothers and other sexual outlaws showcases intergenerational efforts to advance sexual health and rights in contexts that are hostile towards bodily autonomy for girls\, women and gender-diverse people. This work is essential—and comes with great risk. \nThe exhibit will launch in Ottawa on September 21st from 2:00 to 5:00p.m. at Gallery 101 and will be open for public viewing until October 19th. It features the talent of photographers Taslima Akhter (Bangladesh)\, Jessica Xiomara Orellana Ventura (El Salvador) and Lisa Marie David (the Philippines). \nThe exhibit aims to deepen understandings of what activism looks like around the world. \ndaughters\, mothers\, grandmothers and other sexual outlaws captures strength and creativity in the struggle for sexual health and rights. The exhibit aims to deepen understandings of what activism looks like around the world. We also hope it sparks conversations around longstanding and urgent struggles to access reproductive health services\, both globally and in Canada. \nInter Pares\, based in Ottawa\, is a feminist social justice organization that believes in solidarity\, not charity\, as an approach to international cooperation. For nearly 50 years\, Inter Pares has collaborated with courageous activists and inspiring organizations throughout the world to build peace\, advance justice and globalize equality. \nGallery 101 is an artist-run-centre committed to exhibiting self-representations of decolonizing counternarratives. \nThe exhibit is part of a collaboration between Inter Pares and longstanding counterparts Nijera Kori (Bangladesh)\, La Colectiva Feminista para el desarrollo local (El Salvador) and Likhaan Center for Women’s Health (the Philippines). \nFor more information\, please contact: \n• Nathalia Santos Ocasio\, Inter Pares\, nsantosocasio@interpares.ca\n• Kristina Corre\, Gallery 101\, office@g101.ca

SUMMARY:Epistemicide in Gaza: The Targeting and destruction of Knowledge infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology Colloquium Series\, Iyas Salim Abu-hajiar presents: “Epistemicide in Gaza: The Targeting and destruction of Knowledge infrastructure“. \nTitle: Epistemicide in Gaza: The Targeting and destruction of Knowledge infrastructure \nAbstract: Epistemicide refers to the obliteration of knowledge systems\, including physical infrastructure\, educators\, and scholars. In the ongoing war on Gaza\, which has raged for a year\, Israel has systematically targeted and destroyed nearly all educational facilities\, killing thousands of students\, teachers\, researchers\, and lecturers. According to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor\, Israel’s military actions are not random but part of a deliberate strategy to erase education and the future prospects of young Palestinians\, even after the war.Before the conflict\, Gaza was home to 796 schools and 17 higher education institutions\, serving nearly 87\,000 students. Many of these facilities have since been bombed\, and countless researchers\, scholars\, and students have been killed or assassinated. One example is Al-Isra University\, south of Gaza City\, where Israeli forces blew up the campus and destroyed the National Museum\, which housed over 3\,000 rare artifacts from Islamic\, Roman\, and Palestinian history. University administrators in Gaza have repeatedly called for the protection of educational institutions\, describing these attacks as crimes and violations of international laws\, charters\, and norms. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: My name is Iyas Salim Abu-hajiar\, and I am a Palestinian born in Gaza. I hold a PhD in Global Studies from Kyoto\, Japan\, along with a Master’s degree from Gaza\, Palestine\, and a BA from Victoria\, B.C.\, Canada. I taught and researched in both Japan\, and Palestine\, along with several years work in international development across Gaza\, the West Bank\, and Jordan. In 2018\, I co-founded the Research Center for Human Dignity at Doshisha University in Kyoto\, where I served as an Assistant Professor. Currently\, I am an Adjunct Professor at the College of Public and Global Affairs at Carleton University.
