“The Boundaries of Israel” will be the topic of discussion when Dr. Gideon Biger, political science professor and historical geographer at Tel Aviv University, comes to speak at the Tucson Jewish Community Center on January 29th.
Biger will discuss the various “boundaries” of Israel — political, social, and cultural — from ancient to modern times. He will also explain his theories on how the current crisis may be resolved.
Then, on Jan. 30, he will speak again at the Marshall Building on campus to give “The Boundaries of the Middle East: Process and Problems,” which will further explore the conflict and his thoughts on a solution.
Biger has had experience both in the academic and political world, serving as boundaries expert during the negotiations between Israel and Syria in 2000.
The Jan. 29 lecture will be 7:30 p.m at the Tucson JCC. The Jan. 30 lecture is at 12:00 p.m in the Marshall Building, room 490, on campus.
