Environmental transformations of land and space in Palestine are consequences of enduring historical and political experiences that have resulted in land dispossession, fragmentation, adverse bureaucratic and administrative control, and environmental violence. Socio-ecological interactions with fragmented and distorted geographies, landscapes, and spaces have profound impacts on the health of individuals and communities in Palestine. This panel discussion will explore the relationship of land, environment, and health in Palestine through the application of eco-social theory to health and environment, settler colonialism as a determinant of health, the concept of ‘slow’ violence, and historical trauma.
