During this one day symposium, we will explore emerging debates on Palestine, West Asia, the legacies of empire, the role of the intellectual, the global importance of Humanism, and the boomerang effect of imperialism in our own localities. Expert academics from many fields, including Prof Wadie Said, will discuss the enduring influence of Said's ideas on the most urgent questions of our time, and how his thinking still shapes how we understand culture, power, and empire in 2026.The day begins with refreshments at 10.30, with talks starting at 11:00, a buffet lunch and refreshment breaks and talks concluding at 17.00.
