As reported in recent blog postings, PhD Education alumnus (from 1993), Professor Nazmi Al-Masri, from the Islamic University of Gaza, recently visited us as part of his UK trip to connect with colleagues (me included) from the AHRC-funded Researching Multilingually at Borders project –<\/p>\n

One idea that arose during Nazmi’s visit was that of our doctoral community developing a series (e.g. monthly) of online seminars for ourselves but with a Gazan audience in mind as well, i.e. seminars which via technology our Gazan researcher colleagues might either\/both join us and\/or eavesdrop (as it were) on our discussions.<\/p>\n
None of the practicalities for this have yet been talked through so this is an initial message to see if any of you would be interested in contributing to, and participating in, such a series of small-scale events? Please add a comment to this posting if you are \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It might be that we simply video the performances or it maybe we could, as Khwan did (for “Bringing it back home”) add an audio dimension to our ppts for each seminar? Either way, the idea would be to build up an online library\/archive of such presentations for our own use as well as a contribution to the Gazan researcher community.<\/p>\n
I hope that we would be able to join in with some presentations from Gaza in a similar way and that, in this way, we would all be learning from each other, and using technology to subvert the siege situation that currently limits Palestinian physical mobility.<\/p>\n
Any thoughts?<\/p>\n
