DESCRIPTION:The Center for Biographical Research presents: / “My 9th Birthday— a native Palestinian story of beauty and struggle”/ Ma'an Odah, Hawaiʻi for Palestine and Community Organizer/ Ma'an will share stories from his daily life growing up in a refugee camp in the West Bank. These stories will attempt to not only contextualize the level of ongoing systematic oppression Palestinian are subjected to on a daily basis, but also how Palestinians have been able to continue to be resilient and resist their oppressors. / Ma'an Odah (He/Him) is a native Palestinian who was born and raised in Dheisheh Refugee Camp, south of Bethlehem, West Bank. His grandmother was forcibly displaced from the village of Deir Aban in Jerusalem, and his grandfather was forcibly displaced from the coastal village of Yafa and then killed by the Zionist Israeli militias shortly after. Ma'an attained his undergraduate degree from Brown University. He then went on to play a season of professional futbol in South Africa before completing his Medical Nutrition degree and hospital rotations at NYU Langone Health. He currently resides and practices out of Honolulu.  / Cosponsored by Conflict and Peace Specialist, Hui ʻĀina Pilipili: Native Hawaiian Initiative, the School of Communication & Information, the School of Cinematic Arts, Center for Oral History, and the Departments of History, Anthropology, English, Ethnic Studies, Political Science. / 3/6/2025 / Kuykendall 410 / 12PM to 1:15PM HST\n
