About Us
Who We Are
The Palestine Land Studies Center at the American University of Beirut is both an academic center for interdisciplinary research and a hub for grassroots dialogue around the question of land and population studies in Palestine. At the intersection of urban justice, critical geography, international law, and historical inquiry, the center builds on the Palestinian experience and seeks to connect it to broader movements for justice. We engage in scholarship, produce knowledge, prepare future researchers, and inform policies.
Academic Support and Learning
The center supports curriculum development at AUB and has begun supporting it at institutions worldwide to deepen critical engagement with Palestine. Beyond the classroom, we are designing certification programs, training courses, workshops, and learning tools that will serve students, educators, policymakers, and the wider public.
Engagement and Outreach
The center engages with Palestinian, regional, and international institutions through a dynamic series of events, seminars, and conferences to foster critical dialogue on the intersections of land, sovereignty, and the lived experiences of displaced communities.
