When: 9 am October 1 through 9 am October 2

Where: Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden

Please join UCLA faculty from across campus for a 24-hour read-a-thon of “Out of Place” by Edward Said starting Tuesday, October 1st at the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden.

We are coming together on campus, five months following the attacks on and then clearing of the Palestine Solidarity Encampment at UCLA on May 1st and 2nd, to read his work aloud and reflect on the late Palestinian scholar’s memoir, carving space for critical inquiry into questions at the intersection of colonialism, exile, memory, belonging, and of course, Palestine.

You are not required to attend for the full 24 hours, and can drop in at anytime.
