Abstract

ABSTRACT This article reflects on Edward Said’s late essay, ‘On Lost Causes’ in the context of international education and the urgency of equipping students with a critical framework for reading Western hegemony. Using Said’s theorisation of the objective and subjective components of a ‘lost cause’, the article considers the relevance of the essay’s central thesis to the ongoing struggle for Palestinian self-determination and the possibility of its application in a time of live-streamed genocide.
