Sara Roy has lived in and visited the Gaza Strip repeatedly since 1985, conducting extensive research into the effects of occupation on the Palestinian economy. A senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, Roy is author of The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-development. Roy provides an important analysis of the relationship between violence and occupation and on the prospects for peace offered by the current negotiations. Roy's message contains both the personal reflections of the daughter of Holocaust survivors and the analytical perspective of a political economist.

The Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine (CJPIP) is a community-based organization founded to develop and support activities that further the cause of peace and justice in Palestine/Israel.

See all planned events in this series. Series presenters will appear in Oak Park and elsewhere throughout the Chicago and suburban areas. Events are subject to change.
