The lecture will unveil the mechanisms leading to the ignoring of a difficult reality and the persistence of a long-standing conflict. It will not only be an analysis of the conflict itself, but also an opportunity to understand the mechanisms that shape society. Professor Daniel Bar-Tal, who has been a witness, participant and, above all, an authority on the Israeli-Arab-Palestinian conflict for decades, will provide an in-depth look at the Israeli reality, starting with the narrative of the leaders and ending with the impact on contemporary events such as the ongoing war in Gaza. After the lecture, we will discuss together whether there is a way forward to break the impasse and achieve long-term peace in the region. 

Date: February 1st 2024 
Time: 6 PM
Place: Institute of Psychology, Jagiellonian University, 6 Roman Ingarden Street, 30-060 Krakow, room 6.01 (6th floor)

The lecture will be held in English.

Daniel Bar-Tal - Professor Emeritus of the Faculty of Education at Tel Aviv University. His research interests include political and social psychology, and his research is concerned with the socio-psychological underpinnings of unresolvable conflicts and the peace-building process. The researcher's most important theoretical contribution is the development of a systematic and comprehensive conception of the dynamics of bloody and persistent ethnic conflicts: how they erupt, escalate and possibly de-escalate, are resolved peacefully, even leading to reconciliation. In particular, he is considered an authority on the Israeli-Arab-Palestinian conflict, thanks to his comprehensive interdisciplinary analyses of its emergence, continuation and persistence. More recently, his studies and publications have explored the links between conflict and authoritarianism. He has published more than twenty-five books and over two hundred and fifty articles and chapters in major social and political psychology journals, books and encyclopaedias. He has served as president of the International Society for Political Psychology and has received numerous awards for scholarly achievements.
