The course is free and open to everyone, and over five weeks, learners will engage with lecture videos, readings, assignments, and short quizzes to deepen their understanding of the topic. Throughout the MOOC, learners will be encouraged to actively participate and reflect on the material presented.
After attending this MOOC learners will be able to:
– Explain what the importance of historic Palestine is to the Palestinian people and the wider Arab world.
– Explain how and why the Palestinian-Israeli conflict started and evolved, including the implications of legal and diplomatic efforts.
– Describe the current status-quo of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
– Describe and interpret the different voices within scholarly and political discussions about possible settlements of the conflict.
– Reflect critically and develop an informed and nuanced perspective of their own on the conflict.
– Do all of the above in an interdisciplinary way, combining insights from history and postcolonialism, political economy, international relations, state governance, and international law.

This course is offered at Coursera by Utrecht University (The Netherlands), and was jointly developed by Dr. Alaa Tartir (SIPRI, Geneva Graduate Institute, Geneva Graduate Institute | Executive Education, PRIO, Arab Reform Initiative, Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network), Dr. Peter Malcontent (Utrecht University) and Dr. Fadi Hirzallah (Erasmus University Rotterdam & Leonhard-Woltjer Foundation).
