This episode in our Christ at the Checkpoint series features Lamma Mansour, Palestinian Christian scholar. At CATC she gave a presentation titled “Still, Hope." In this episode, clips from her presentation are interwoven with her conversation with Abeer about the role of faith and hope in times of oppression. They also explore the role of the church's prophetic voice in confronting injustices and the commitment required for Christian discipleship. Dr. Lamma Mansour is a Palestinian Christian from Nazareth. She received her doctorate in Social Policy and Intervention from the University of Oxford. Her doctoral research focused on the experiences of Arab Palestinian undergraduate students in Israeli higher education. Lamma has also been involved in research projects focusing on other groups within Palestinian Arab society in Israel (e.g., young women, and social workers).
