The mobile university
This paper explores the place of the university in the struggle for spatial and mobility justice in Palestine, focusing on Al Quds University (AQU) in occupied East Jerusalem. Recognising the function of the university as one that requires the movement and circulation of bodies, ideas and knowledge, as well as co-presence in physical space, we examine how the university has moved over time to deliver its function, maintain its presence, and defen…
The Practice of Siege Warfare
Siege is seen as an acceptable, approved military tactic by international law. While preparing the so-called ‘generals’ plan,’ I copied from the official ‘guide’ of the United States’ army – the ch
Higher Education Under Siege
This paper examines attacks on higher education in Palestine through the lens of siege warfare. Focusing on attacks directed against Kadoorie campus in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, it argues that the combination of military, infrastructural, industrial and administrative tactics which have been used to isolate and enclose the campus; raid, injure, maim and kill people and animals; destroy property and key physical defences; degrade natural res…
Building a border-city university in occupied Palestine
Situating itself within recent debates on the possibilities of developing a “resistance economy” within a neoliberal and settler colonial context, this paper examines how one border-lying university – the Arab American University of Palestine (AAUP) – and the informal city which has developed around it, has leveraged private capital investments to not only address the educational and employment needs of Palestinians living on both sides of the bo…
Cross-border mobilities
Over 10,000 Palestinian citizens of Israel – approximately half of whom are women – cross the Green Line on a regular basis to study at universities in the West Bank. Challenging views that would dismiss these cross-border flows as illustrative of their relatively privileged legal, material and socio-economic status as citizens, this paper engages the concept of mobility capital as well as the work of feminist scholars on the capital investment s…
The Struggle to be Seen and Heard in Israel-Palestine
In her well-known essay ‘Can the Subaltern Speak?’, Gayatri Chakravorta Spivak (1988) draws attention to the epistemic violence of erasure of marginalised voices from intellectual efforts of narrat
Making space on the run
This paper explores the politics of running in the fragmented city of Jerusalem. Through a series of ‘run-alongs’ – an innovative method of talking while running – with members of the city’s first Palestinian running group, it reveals the mobile, multi-sited and multi-modal practices they use to transgress borders and reclaim spaces for themselves to live within it. Situating an analysis of their running practices within a discussion of the right…
Protesting at the crossroads
They go to get a gun’
This article examines rumour as a distinct type of speech act and makes a case for engaging with the spaces within which rumours are deployed and circulated in practice. Critiquing the rigid linguistic focus on speech acts within prevailing securitization theories, it follows insights from the fields of political geography and anthropology in order to incorporate voices from the margins more fully into its analysis of threat construction. Examini…
Spatial Regimes of Power
This paper examines the agency of Arab urban spaces in shaping local policing arrangements in Israel using a recent experiment with Combined Municipal Policing (CMP) in the city of Nazareth as a case study. Departing from prevailing analytical approaches to the study of local governance in Arab urban localities in Israel, it adopts a distributive notion of agency that addresses both the role of (uneven) arrangements of power in producing Arab-onl…
Palestinian Christians in Israel
Although Christians form a significant proportion of the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel, very little research has, until now, been undertaken to examine their complicated position within Israel. This book demonstrates the limits of analyses which characterise state-minority relations in Israel in terms of a so-called Jewish-Muslim conflict, and of studies which portray Palestinian Christians as part of a wider exclusively religious-based tra…
The limits of dissent
This article examines the impact of new political communication strategies upon state policy towards Palestinian Arab media in Israel. While the majority of studies on Palestinian Arab media in Israel have tended to focus upon patterns of media production or consumption by the minority, little attention has been given to the relationship between the structural dimensions of power and inequality in society and the development of Palestinian counte…
Multicultural Norms and Strategies
It is widely assumed that a fundamental contradiction exists between multiculturalism and ethnocracy. As a result, there has been a distinct lack of research investigating the strategic relationship which can and does exist between both theories in practice. This article sets out to overcome this gap through an examination of state policy towards the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel. It identifies certain limits to the conceptual frameworks ty…
