  • Arab/Israeli Conflict Today Instructor: Dr
    HIS 130A-01 - Arab/Israeli Conflict Today Instructor: Dr. Avi Marcovitz Fall 2016, Wednesday Email: [email protected] Time: 14:00 – 15:30 Phone: 050-300-7232 2 credits Course Description: This course provides an intensive, demanding and often emotional immersion into the historical, cultural and political aspects of the Middle East from a variety of experts. Throughout the semester, students will learn about the important sites in the area and possibly meet with individuals and groups that are active in Israel- Arab affairs. Students will benefit from a unique view of the conflict between Israel and the Arab world and gain insights and experiences that most students are not exposed to. These are intellectually challenging encounters designed to enable the students to become more knowledgeable and to learn to intelligently discuss the complex nature of what happens in Israel and the Palestinian territories. The course includes exposure to some controversial points of view, difficult sights and potentially confusing experiences. Our approach requires students to listen carefully and patiently digest the information, some of which includes differing perspectives on the same historical and contemporary events. The complicated and complex nature of the subject area requires active attention and participation in all activities and lectures, during the semester. Lectures will feature all sides of the political spectrum (Jews and Arabs and Palestinians and Israelis.) Classes are interactive experiences that review topics related to current events an in detail. Assigned reading and writing exercises as well as examinations will be required, as in any academic course. Throughout the course, students will view many examples of video footage from the Israeli, Palestinian and world media, participate in class debates over contemporary issues, and learn to respond to some of the most common allegations and threats facing Israel, such as the Apartheid accusation, the origin and predicament of the refugees and the emerging Iranian threat.

Kidder1 & Amy J. Binder 2 Published online: 1 February 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract In this paper, we report data from interviews with members of conservative political clubs at four flagship public universities. First, we categorize these students into three analytically distinct orientations regarding Donald Trump and his presidency (or what we call Trumpism). There are principled rejecters, true believers, and satisficed partisans. We argue that Trumpism is a disunifying symbol in our respondents’ self- narratives. Specifically, right-leaning collegians use Trumpism to draw distinctions over the appropriate meaning of conservatism. Second, we show how political clubs sort and shape orientations to Trumpism. As such, our work reveals how student-led groups can play a significant role in making different political discourses available on campuses and shaping the types of activism pursued by club members—both of which have potentially serious implications for the content and character of American democracy moving forward. Keywords Americanpolitics.Conservatism.Culture.Highereducation.Identity.Organizations Introduction Donald Trump, first as a candidate and now as the president, has been an exceptionally divisive force in American politics, even among conservatives who typically vote Republican.
