Kashmir – the most militarized region in the world – saw about 38,000 troops added to its soil about a month ago. What is the India-Kashmir conflict, and how can we understand it as a global struggle for justice? Join us in actively listening to a teach-in video where two Kashmiris living outside of Kashmir speak about the self-determination movement in their homeland. Historian Hafsa Kanjwal (Assistant Professor, History, Lafayette College), and anthropologist Mohamad Junaid (Assistant Professor, Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work, MCLA) come together to help us understand the acuteness of the need to #standwithkashmir – by #StandingWithKashmiris. 

Here in the United States, we are the inheritors of a strong legacy of anti-war teach-ins. We will use this teach-in to build a consciousness about Kashmir and Kashmiris in a practical and participatory way that is oriented toward engagement and action. It will consist of a video co-viewing, moderated small-group conversations, timed discussions, and a participatory artistic activity to help mobilize our shared desire for change. We will use our time together to collectively construct something, not as experts, but as ordinary individuals, who have both the power, and the responsibility, to learn.
