Searching for Occupy pays tribute to a great activist, a young Palestinian warrior for Peace, Mira Dabit, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly two days ago at the age of 27. She was working in Washington D.C. as co-director of Peace House. Her passing is a loss to us all.

The Department of Sociology in TCD collaborated with the Centre for Post-Conflict Justice to host a public lecture, Surveillance, Fear and Israeli Colonialism by Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Dr Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a feminist activist and leading expert in the field of human rights and women's rights in Israel/Palestine.

The lecture discussed surveillance over colonized Palestinian subjects to argue that colonial dispossession functions in different layers. The lecture is based on Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian's work on surveillance, securitization and social control in militarized zones. http://naderakevorkian.blogspot.ie/
