Naim Aburaddi, PhD Defense

​"We were mistaken when we thought the homeland was only the past. For Khalid, the homeland is the future."

​— Ghassan Kanafani, Returning to Haifa

​Dear friends and colleagues,

​I am honored to invite you to the public defense of my doctoral dissertation:

​Immersurvival: Immersive Media as a Palestinian Practice of Survival, Return, and Counter-Visuality

​This is a hybrid event. You are welcome to join us in person at the CU Boulder CASE Building, Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL-E390), or online via Zoom from wherever you are.

​This work was written from inside grief and from inside love for a homeland I cannot yet return to. I would be honored to have you stand with me as I defend it.

​With love,

​Naim
