Jennifer Mogannam is an Assistant Professor in the department of Critical Race & Ethnic studies at UC Santa Cruz. An oral historian and cross-disciplinary scholar, her work centers Palestinian and Arab transnational movements, third world solidarities, refugeehood, and revolution. She is working on a book project about the Palestinian revolution, praxis and coalition with the Lebanese opposition during the Lebanese civil war. She is a founding member of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, a steering member of the UC Ethnic Studies Faculty Council, and an organizer for the UC People’s Tribunal for Palestine. Jennifer has organized in and worked to establish transnational Palestinian and Arab community spaces for 20 years, formerly with the Palestinian Youth Movement and currently with the Palestinian Feminist Collective. Her work, while often historical, is also always forward looking, toward the possibilities of decolonization and building a new world.
