We will begin on Wednesday, September 14, with a break for the High Holidays, and continue through mid-December.
We hope you will save these dates and spread the word. All sessions will begin at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, 7:00 p.m. Central, 5:00 p.m. Pacific time. You will find profiles of our six speakers at this link, and we will send fuller details in advance of each session.

Following this series, our colleague Joel Beinin, distinguished professor emeritus of Middle East History at Stanford, will offer a 10-week course on "A History of Palestine and Israel." Classes will take place on Tuesdays (8:00 p.m. Eastern, 7:00 p.m. Central, 5:00 p.m. Pacific) from January 10 to March 14, 2023. We hope you'll save those dates as well.
