Staff from across UCL departments have come together to organise an annual event in memory of  UCL alumnus (Comparative Literature MA, 2007), distinguished Palestinian poet and educator Dr. Refaat Alareer. 

Each year, the event will honour his pedagogical and intellectual legacy through conversations that engage with themes or approaches central to Dr. Alareer’s work. This year’s programme will bring together leading writers and scholars, including former students of Dr. Alareer, for a conversation and reflection on the theme of home in the context of occupation and exile.

Registration is essential – register here.
