2021 Edward Said Memorial Lecture

IN CONVERSATION, WITH NOAM CHOMSKY

Each year, AFOPA presents a guest speaker who challenges us to take a different view or see new possibilities for change. This year is no different. We are honoured to invite you to a personal conversation with Noam Chomsky where he will offer his latest reflections on Palestine.

 Dr Sam Shahin, immediate past chair of AFOPA speaks with Chomsky, renowned political philosopher and one of the most influential thinkers of our time.  His work has transformed the field of  linguistics, and influenced cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, computer science, mathematics, childhood education, and anthropology. Chomsky has long been a leading voice in advocating for human rights, and for the Palestinian people.
