 climate of cultural terrorism. This event is proudly organized in 
 collaboration with Librarians and Archivists with Palestine (LAP) – a 
 network committed to supporting the Palestinian struggle for 
 self-determination and advocating for the free flow of information.
Our 
 distinguished guest, Dr. Sharon C. Smith, a respected academic and member 
 of LAP since its inception in 2013, will share her insights and experiences 
 in navigating the challenges faced by information professionals in
