Abolition Science Radio

In part two of this series, we speak with two concerned scientists, Mario Martone and Marcelo Nomura, who were involved with organizing The Second International Meeting for Science in Palestine. They also introduce listeners to two of the organizations, Scientists for Palestine and Science for the People, that collaborated on this gathering which took place in November 2018 at Columbia University.

In part one of the Science in Palestine series, we speak to Zeiad Abbas, executive director of (MECA) Middle East Children's Alliance, about the history of Palestine. He connects his personal experience as a refugee from the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the West Bank to a long history and struggle against military colonial occupation. Zeiad highlights the importance of learning from movements for justice globally and shares a new resource called Teach Palestine, a website for educators, students, and anyone interested in teaching and learning about Palestine.

We introduce our multi-part series on Science in Palestine.
