This practicum focuses on examining and assessing cooperative Palestinian-Israeli water projects for their significance as peacebuilding initiatives and practices. With several key partners in Israel, the students will work in teams to develop original research on this topic including just over two weeks abroad. With support from both SIS and American University's Center for Israel Studies (CIS), the summer program will have 8 graduate students lead by Professors Eric Abitbol and Ken Conca.

Team Meeting
This photo was taken by Andrew Conca-Cheng, who accompanied us on our trip and took some great photos. This is a photo of the team discussing our research towards the end of the trip. Although our days were mostly filled with interviews and site visits, we did make time to come together as a team a few times during the trip to discuss some of our key insights and to talk about where we thought the research was leading us. I was lucky to work with such an interesting and fun group of students, each of whom brought a different set of strengths and knowledge to the team. We had students from a wide range of AU masters programs, including: Global Environmental Politics, International Development, Ethics, Peace and Global Affairs, International Peace and Conflict Resolution, and International Affairs.
