The first Cross-STS roundtable discussion of the winter/spring 2025 semester is set to take place 7 March from 11:00-1:00, on campus. The title of the event is “Technologies of Violence and Occupation, from Palestine and Beyond.” Please see the below flyer for a link to the event description and registration form. You may also access it directly via bit.ly/XSTS25.

Registrants will receive e-mail communication some days before the event with the precise location. We ask interested parties to confirm their attendance as promptly as possible so as to allow maximal time for planning food and other logistics.

The already noteworthy intellectual contributions of our three panelists and our moderator suggest that the conversation about this urgent topic will be rich and lively. On behalf of the student organizing committee, we look forward to seeing you there!
