Prospective Arab teachers’ emotions as mirrors to their identities and culture
Returning to Ourselves
Studies of traditional healers in various cultures describe their initiation into the healing profession as a climax that constructs their professional and personal identity. Literature emphasizes the healers' intense association with the culture in which they work, as reflected in the initiation narratives that healers in various cultures recount. In this article we reveal unique initiation stories and identity formation from Palestinian nonconv…
Traditional healing, higher education, autonomy and hardship
This article presents two coping paths available to Palestinian women in Israel today – turning to a traditional healer in the community, an act that represents turning ‘inwards’, and pursuing higher education, an act that represents turning ‘outwards’. These two paths enable coping – particularly in times of societal transition – and provide opportunities for the women who utilize them. On the other hand, each of these paths is laden with unique…
When Horizons Do Not Merge
Gadamer claims that the horizons of the listener and the narrator merge and create a new understanding of the narrative's meaning. This study examines encounters between researcher and informant in which these horizons do not merge, encounters-usually ignored in the literature-in which the researcher senses that the informant's statements raise questions, cause confusion, or are perceived as perhaps unacceptable. It analyzes these moments and the…

When the Hegemony Studies the Minority-An Israeli Jewish Researcher Studies Druze Women
This study describes the positionality and power relations revealed during research on women in Israel's Druze minority, conducted by a Jewish woman in the country's hegemonic society. Although the researcher's position and power appear obvious, changes took place constantly, reflecting her unstable position as a stranger, "outsider" or "insider," as well as shifts in power relations. The researcher's positionality is believed to be affected prim…
Identity and gender in cultural transitions
This paper examines the phenomenon of the return of Bedouin and Druze women from studies in Israeli universities to their homes and culture, focusing on the perspective of the psychological changes they experienced in their identity. Entering the university, located in the Jewish-Israeli space (in central cities in Israel), constitutes entry into a new and different cultural world that exposes these women to values and norms different from those …
