In this presentation on ‘The Psychosocial Health of Palestinian Youth: Occupation and Resistance’, Professor Rita Giacaman addresses the impact on wellbeing on young Palestinians as a result of prolonged military occupation. In exploring this issue, Professor Giacaman also considers the positive steps Palestinian youth take to resist the oppressive conditions they face. Decades of studying Palestinian psychosocial health has altered the ways Palestinian researchers have understood and measured wellbeing and these innovations are also addressed in the talk.
The lecture took place at the Institute of Education on 21st November 2018.
