-Cde. Madisha attended a conference in Ramallah, Palestine late last year. The conference was convened by the Teacher Creativity Centre and titled ' Education, Globalisation and Social Change'.

-Prof. Tilley is Associate Professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Her book 'The One-State Solution: A Breakthrough for Peace in the Israeli-Palestinian Deadlock' has just been published by the University of Michigan Press. New York University's Tony Judt comments "A clear, trenchant book on a topic of enormous importance. . . . Overall this is a courageous plunge into boiling waters. If it helps propel forward a debate that has hardly begun in this country it will have performed a signal scholarly and political function."

-Cde. Gabru, a member of the PSC, has recently returned from Palestine. She stayed with villagers resisting the construction of the Apartheid Wall and monitored various human rights abuses.
