Speaker Bio: Dr. Ayyash is Professor in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Mount Royal University. His interdisciplinary research draws from anti-racist, decolonial, and critical hermeneutic approaches to social theory and analysis. Driven by questions about relations of power, justice, as well as political and social change, his research has largely focused on violence, settler colonial sovereignty, decolonial sovereignties, as well as social movements, focusing on the Palestinian struggle.
