DESCRIPTION:Kali Rubaii was the first English teacher in Al Aqaba, a Palestinian 
 village in the West Bank. Her presentation will focus on how Palestinian 
 families raise their children while struggling to keep their homes and 
 village intact in the face of demolitions, live fire, and destruction of 
 their farms, schools and infrastructure. Kali will discuss Al Aqaba's 
 strategies and partnership with the non-profit organization Rebuilding 
 Alliance, as the village takes a novel approach to rebuilding homes and a 
 school in a village where the population is under orders to move from their 
 traditional lands. Al Aqaba's strategies are a model for different areas of 
 Palestine, as well as other communities facing displacement.\n\nKali Rubaii 
 and her mother, Debra Ellis, have lived and worked with refugees and 
 displaced communities in Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and other parts of the 
 Middle East. A Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at UCSC, Kali studies 
 non-migratory displacement for people living under military occupation in 
 Iraq and Palestine. She works with Rebuilding Alliance and FOSNA (Friends 
 of Sabeel North America) to promote peaceful justice in Palestine. Kali is 
 the co-founder of ISLAH, an organization that gives Americans the 
 opportunity to pay reparations to the Iraqi people through medical and 
 advocacy support.  \n
