Earlier this week, we highlighted an article by Ali Awad that was published on Nov. 20 in the New York Times. The son of a sheepherder, Ali Awad was born in 1988 on the West Bank. He grew up in Tuba, a village of 80 in the South Hebron Hills, where his family has lived for generations and where the hillsides “are stamped with our footsteps and those of our flocks.” Now he is a graduate student in English Literature at Al-Quds University (AQU) in East Jerusalem.

Curious to know more about Ali Awad’s university, I’ve learned that Al-Quds University was established in 1977 and is the only Palestinian university in Jerusalem (Al-Quds). It currently has around 12,000 full-time students and more than 700 faculty members.
