David Hernández was accepted into the Faculty Development Seminar (FDS) at the Palestinian American Research Center (PARC), run by the State Department. Provided there is a cease-fire, Hernández will travel to Israel and Palestine in mid-May for two weeks with other scholars from around the country. The PARC FDS is a unique opportunity for collaboration, bridge-building (at a critical time), and a turn in Hernández's scholarship.
