Report from Takanori Hayao, presently a guest researcher at the University of Haifa

4 November, 2007 HAYAO Takanori Permalink

Haifa is a city in Northern Israel and partially due to its proximity to the Galilee district with a numerous Arab-Palestinian population it is known for the high percentage of citizens of Arab origin. The University of Haifa has the largest number of students with Arab background in Israel. The city is also called sometimes “a city of coexistence” or “a bilingual city” (the ideological aspect behind such notions remains to be discussed). Ilan Pappe, who was invited to UTCP last march, used to work at the University of Haifa. He is a historian, who thoroughly criticized the Israeli official history/national history from within Israel. This time we narrowly missed each other because Dr. Pappe has moved to England with his family and started work at the University of Exeter.
