Palestine and the Peace Imperative: Repetitive Patterns and Shifting Dynamics

The IGL presents the Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award to Hanan Ashwari, who lectures on "Palestine and the Peace Imperative: Repetitive Patterns and Shifting Dynamics."

Hanan Ashrawi is a Palestinian leader, legislator, activist, and scholar. She was the first woman to be elected to the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (2009) and she currently holds a seat in that organization, which is the highest executive body in Palestine. Ashrawi has been a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council since 1996 and was also appointed as the Palestinian Authority Minister of Higher Education and Research in the same year. Ashrawi also served as a member of the Leadership Committee and as an official spokesperson of the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace process, beginning with the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991.
