 he Concept of Return</a>\nDon't rely on a book's cover\, discover more abo
 ut it For more than seventy eight years\, the idea of return has shaped Pa
 lestinian political imagination\, personal memory\, and collective identit
 y. Yet return is not a single or stable concept. It is layered\, inherited
 \, contested\, and often unfinished. This evening explores return as an in
 tergenerational condition\, a dream passed from grandparents to parents to
  children\, sometimes without ever being fulfilled. What does it mean to i
 nherit a return you did not experience yourself? What does it mean to retu
 rn to a place that exists only through stories\, memory\, and fragments of
  history? The session begins with a screening of Return to Haifa (1982)\, 
 directed by Kassem Hawal and adapted from the celebrated novella by Ghassa
 n Kanafani. The film offers one of the most profound literary and cinemati
 c reflections on the dilemmas of return\, confronting questions of loss\, 
 belonging\, responsibility\, and identity. Following the screening\, resea
 rcher Dr Hala Alnaji will lead a collective reflection drawing on personal
  narratives and historical experiences of displacement. The discussion wil
 l explore how return is imagined across generations\, how it moves between
  political right and emotional longing\, and what uncertainties emerge whe
