Karam Dana on “Learning Matters: A Bridge to Practice” podcast

IAS faculty member Karam Dana was a guest on the “Learning Matters: A Bridge to Practice” podcast hosted by Scott Macklin from Trinity Western University in British Colombia. In the podcast episode addressing global connections, Dana describes his research, and its power in transforming our understanding with regard to studying Palestine and Palestinians, and with regard to the study of American Muslims, the two primary areas of Dana’s research.

Dana also reflects on his personal experience as a member of a minority group, as an immigrant, and a Palestinian refugee, and how these lived experiences matter in the classroom today in making connections with students, even during conditions of necessary virtual teaching and learning.
