WWAC, Jewish Voice for Peace VT-NH and Southern Vermont for Palestine welcome historian Ilan Papp&eacute; and neuroscientist and writer Yoav Litvin for a conversation about their new book, Wired to Steal: Zionism and the Shaping of the Western Mind. Bringing history and behavioral neuroscience together, Papp&eacute; and Litvin ask how political movements can draw on fear, identity, and the human need to belong. With Zionism and Israel/Palestine as their central case, they examine how these forces can shape public attitudes toward dispossession and violence&mdash;and whether those patterns can be recognized and changed. Papp&eacute; is a professor at the University of Exeter, director of its European Centre for Palestine Studies, and the author of more than twenty books. Litvin is a neuroscientist, writer, and researcher whose work has focused on the neuroscience of emotion. The program will include an opportunity for audience questions. Presented in partnership with Jewish Voice for Peace VT-NH and Southern VT for Palestine, as part of the Windham World Affairs Council&#39;s ongoing commitment to fostering informed public dialogue about critical global issues. The discussion follows WWAC&rsquo;s October program with Dr. Ayman Nijim on genocide and collective trauma. Together, the two events invite audiences to consider both the human consequences of mass violence and the historical, political, and psychological systems that can sustain it.___________________________________________________________The Windham World Affairs Council was founded in 1961 to bring the world to Windham County. Each fall, we present its premier annual event, the Galbraith Lecture, honoring WWAC co-founder John Kenneth Galbraith, one of the twentieth century&#39;s most influential economists and public intellectuals. WWAC is the smallest of the World Affairs Councils of America and has an all-volunteer board. It hosts lectures, films, and other events on global topics, as well as a monthly Members&rsquo; Salon, where members and their guests gather informally to discuss topics of the day.
