A course on modern Middle Eastern history was originally scheduled to be taught at Columbia University in Fall 2025. However, as Columbia continues its complicity in covering up the U.S.-Israeli genocide against Palestine and capitulates to the Trump administration at the expense of academic freedom and student rights, Professor Rashid Khalidi found it impossible to teach his course. This segment of the course, entitled A Short Course on Palestine, will now be offered at The People’s Forum, co-sponsored with the Institute for Palestine Studies, making it accessible to the broader public.

Tonight: Is What You See Real? (Part 1): A Conversation w/ neuroscientist Heather Berlin

How much of what you experience is the world itself—and how much is your brain’s best guess? Join neuroscientist Heather Berlin for an accessible, eye-opening exploration of perception, attention, and memory. In the first hour of this two-part series, we’ll unpack what cutting-edge research reveals about how the brain constructs reality, and why your mind sometimes misleads you with illusions, blind spots, and confident mistakes.

From survival “shortcuts” and predictive processing to change blindness and the limits of multitasking, we’ll examine the tricks your brain uses to keep you alive—and how those same tricks can distort what you think you saw, heard, and remember. Come curious; leave with practical insights for navigating a world where certainty often outpaces accuracy.
