From FH. Colleen Carroll shares stories and reflections from her recent trip to Palestine as part of a "Come and See, Go and Tell" delegation hosted by Sabeel, a Palestinian Liberation Theology organization based in East Jerusalem. As the struggle for Palestinian liberation continues the current conditions in the East Jerusalem and West Bank must be understood and incorporated in our solidarity movements. Carroll is a PSU researcher where she focuses on understanding evictions to end them, and teaches Community Organizing & Social Change. She is a member of PSU's chapter of Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine.

From FH. Hinduism offers choice over belief and/or experience. HGP's Harsh Arora will present a brief overview of Hindu history, traditions and thought processes; how its teachings have guided his explorations; and humanism's role in its foundation. Raised in a religious Hindu family in India, Harsh questioned the basic premise of religions in high school, reading the Bible, Koran, Avesta, Buddhist Sutra and studying Hindu literature in depth. Now with a graduate degree from UC Berkeley, he has lectured on Hinduism for 25 years, and has written two novels (‘The First Hindu’ and ‘Undesired Duty’) plus several local plays.
