1. International Conference: “Equal Rights for All: A New Path for Israel-Palestine?”, Birkbeck Institute, University of London, 14-16 March 2015

The ongoing situation in Israel-Palestine desperately requires radical new thought. Shifting attention from discussions focused solely on a one-or-two-state agreement, the fundamental question this Conference seeks to address is how to achieve equal rights for all who live in Palestine-Israel.
