The Greeley Speaker series focuses on settler colonial and structural violence against Indigenous peoples as well as resistance mobilized by Indigenous communities against powerful entities locally and transnationally. In this talk, Atallah will share his collective’s efforts to address intergenerational, racialized trauma and promote decolonial healing practices in refugee camps in occupied Palestine on the frontlines of settler colonial onslaught.
Devin G. Atallah is an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Atallah is a diaspora Palestinian with cherished roots within the Indigenous villages in the mountains of Bethlehem, colonized Palestine. He is a founder and a leader of the Decolonial Antiracism Research & Action (DARA) Collective for Healing & Liberación. As an activist, scholar, researcher, practitioner, educator, learner, and healer, Atallah strives to support and to contribute to understandings of intergenerational resistance, healing justice and decolonization/decoloniality.
