Public Lecture by IHSS Visiting Fellow Dr Tawfiq Da’adli's (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
The Old City of Ludd no longer exists, like many towns and villages destroyed in the Nakba, and most of Ludd’s indigenous inhabitants have been forced from their homes. Instead, this reconstruction will be based on combination of visual, material and archival sources to virtually guide the audience through three of Ludd’s neighbourhoods, focusing on families that played central role in the town’s social life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Professor Tawfiq Da'adli is a Lecturer in Middle Eastern Studies and Art History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and is coming to Queen Mary as an IHSS Visiting Fellow.
The lecture will be followed by a reception. All are welcome by please register on Eventbrite.
The lecture is organised by the City Centre, School of Geography and School of History and co-funded by the IHSS Visiting Fellowship Scheme.
