About Ben White:
Ben White is a freelance journalist and writer specialising in Palestine/Israel. He also writes on the broader Middle East, Islam and Christianity, and the ‘war on terror’. Ben has been visiting Palestine/Israel since 2003 for periods of between two weeks and three months, typically basing himself in the Bethlehem district of the West Bank.
His articles have appeared in a variety of international publications, including the Guardian online’s ‘Comment is free’, the New Statesman, Electronic Intifada, Christian Science Monitor, Palestine Chronicle, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Middle East International, Church Times, Church of England Newspaper, Third Way, and Palestine-Israel Journal.
In 2008, along with blogger and film-maker Philip Rizk, Ben organised the ‘JustPeace60’ declaration of Christian leaders around the world. On Israel’s 60th anniversary, this statement was published in the UK national newspaper ‘The Independent’ and reproduced all over the internet. He has given numerous talks on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in universities, churches, and community centres.
He graduated from Cambridge University with a BA in English Literature in 2005. His final year dissertation was a comparative study of the representation of dispossession in the contemporary literature of Palestinians and Native Americans. He now lives in the UK.
McMaster SPHR calls on all students, faculty, staff and members of the Hamilton community to join us for this important event. We welcome your suggestions or inquiries at sphr.mcmaster@gmail.com.
