The Palestinian and Arab Studies program at UC Berkeley, long in development, aims to foster critical scholarship and dialogue about the complexities of the Middle East.
Raka Ray noted that the program allows the social sciences to enhance education by exploring important but neglected fields and fostering inclusive education.
This program responds to a long-standing need for academic understanding of Palestinian history and aims to contribute to inclusivity amid recent campus tensions.
UC Berkeley's initiative is among few nationwide focusing on Palestinian history, following similar efforts by institutions like Columbia University and Brown University.
