DESCRIPTION:This Week's focus: Religion as a Site of Fragmentation\, Unity
 \, and Re-Articulation. Religious institutions\, identities\, and sacred s
 pace as sites of division and re-articulation.\n\nThis reading group exami
 nes the political\, geographic\, economic\, cultural\, and linguistic frag
 mentations that have shaped Palestinian life over the past century\, from 
 the West Bank\, Gaza\, and the ’48 territories to the multiple Palestini
 an diasporas. By engaging with scholarship across history\, political theo
 ry\, and cultural studies\, this reading group interrogates how these divi
 sions have been produced\, institutionalised\, and normalised\, and how th
 ey continue to shape Palestinian belongings\, identities\, and futures. Ou
 r aim is to consider both the unity that persists within fragmentation and
  the fragmentation that structures the very notion of Palestine.\n\nCentra
 l Question: How are ideas of Palestine and Palestinian collective identity
  shaped\, challenged\, and rearticulated under conditions of fragmentation
 ?\n\nStructure: The group will convene biweekly throughout Hilary and Trin
 ity Terms 2026\, with each session lasting two hours
