The workshop aims to develop a Palestinian defection of indigeneity within a comparative international perspective that draws on “distinct racial and cultural configuration of indigeneity and the ways in which it has been shaped by European settler colonialism and conquest since the 15th century.” The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Amal Eqeiq, Assistant Professor of Arabic Studies and Comparative Literature at Williams College and Eman Ghanayem, a Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign whom we will be hosting via skype.

The Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning in cooperation with ITU organized a series of workshops of E-Class. The informative sessions on 3rd; 4th; 7th October 2019 taught by Ms. Tina Hazboun, Instructional Technology Unit, targeted all departments and programs and made sure they are scheduled during free faculty hours so the faculty could attend.
The workshops introduced faculty members to E-Class; the learning management platform used at Bethlehem University. The registered participants learned how to navigate individual E-Class dashboards and accounts. They were also introduced to how to upload course materials such as outlines on their course pages, and how to create and take attendance using E-Class modules. These sessions were very informative and the aim was to encourage Bethlehem University faculty to use E-Class regularly. CETL with the ITU will organize workshops also during faculty hours on how to set up grading reports using E-Class.
