<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121">This talk begins with the premise that increasing access to the land and facilitating encounters with the natural world must be part of our scholarly practice. Drawing on experiences of walking with
students both within and beyond university borders, I explore how embodied ecological practices might stretch the space/time of teaching and learning in Higher Education – nourishing political organising and (re-)orienting students and teachers toward justice
and solidarity.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121">Inspired by Raja Shehadeh’s <i>Palestinian Walks</i> (2008) and grounded in Devon, southwest England, I trace how movement through local woods, lanes and fields enables us to follow landlines that
connect struggles and communities. Our journey begins with a walk designed to provide a break from the weight of study, yet unexpected ruptures open new modes of knowledge sharing, relating to the land, and working toward decolonisation. Step by step, our
landlines connect settler colonialism in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">Palestine</span>with the present-day coloniality of Britain, and awaken us to the ethical and political bonds that entangle life on a
planetary level. Moving, breathing and sensing make visible an emergent ecology that seeks not “balance,” but interdependency, care and accountability as the basis of our shared future.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:#212121">Shedding light on the post-Oslo Accords (1993) period, the establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA), the theatrics of state-crafting, and the amplification of the Israeli occupation and apartheid, I trace how the relationship
between colonial geopolitical space(s) and temporalities, local authoritarianism, and everydayness shape gender performances among young Palestinians. Through using collaborative and creative methods (i.e. applied theatre), I aim to break with essentialism,
binarism and hegemony of Western theories when working with and for Palestinian masculinities, exploring not only the complexity of oppression and violence surrounding their lives but also the emancipatory spaces and futurity/ies they forge for themselves
on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
