The Department of West Asian and North African Studies held its third Workshop for the Palestinian Studies program at the Iran Hall. This lecture was presented by Dr Mohammad Taqi Taqizadeh, a leading writer and researcher in the field of Palestine. After introducing his publication in the field, Dr Taqizaedh provided a brief analysis of Palestinian studies preand post-revolution in Iran. Taqizadeh further discussed the studies being carried out in the neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Egypt and Syria, the work produced in Iran is minimal. He insisted that research in this field needs to be realistic and precise as it can benefit the government’s position with regards to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Workshops on Palestinian Studies are held every Saturday (10-12) with external guest lectures to expand students’ knowledge on the field beyond FWS. The workshops are open to all FWS students and lecturers.
