Numerical diversity only? The case of academic preparatory programs for the Negev Bedouin in Israel
The politics of silence: Palestinian faculty and the struggle for voice in Israeli academia in times of war
Epistemology of surveillance: Revealing unmarked forms of discipline and punishment in Israeli academia
This paper analyzes the unmarked forms of discipline and punishment employed against Palestinian researchers in Israeli academia, attempting to decolonize it through critical knowledge production. Based on interviews with 15 researchers from a cross-section of academic institutions in Israel, the paper identifies subtle mechanisms of discipline and punishment, directed toward normalizing the epistemology of the colonized. The findings suggest tha…
The Colonial–Religious Institutional Contract: Muslim Women Activists in Israel
This study examines the growth of a progressive religious Muslim activism among Palestinian women in Israel and the challenges it poses to the religious patriarchy and colonial power structures. Based on semistructured interviews with a religious feminist organization’s activists, the study revealed that feminist Islamic activism addresses an alliance between state officials and patriarchal–religious establishment gatekeepers that interlock to bl…
The paradox of diversity in the Israeli academia: Reproducing white Jewishness and national supremacy
This paper claims that policies designed to promote diversity and provide Ethiopian Jews with opportunities in Israeli institutions of higher learning create a paradox where, rather than diversifying student bodies and faculties in universities, they bolster the reproduction of national and religious supremacy of white Jews in the Israeli academia. Interviews with 50 Ethiopian students reveal that the racialized cultural indexes on which Israeli …

The biopolitics of declassing Palestinian professional women in a settler-colonial context
This article argues that the biopolitics of declassing Palestinian professional women in Israel, which constitutes part of the logic of eliminating the native, is mediated by colonial violence that secures labor market class sovereignty for settlers. In this context, the term declassing refers to rendering this class invisible by disregarding the women's presence and/or value in the labor market. The study unpacks the logic of elimination through…
Muslim women in the Canadian labor market: Between ethnic exclusion and religious discrimination
Scp>Bedouin Society
Bedouin society is not a definable homogeneous category, but varies from one country to another according to the political relations that render its status as marginalized or developing. As such, it cannot be described in fixed identities, although its scholarly definitions are not entirely detached from academic politics
The Paradox of Professional Marginality among Arab-Bedouin Women
This study examines the mechanisms that create a paradox of marginality among middle-class Arab-Bedouin professional women in Israel by applying an intersectional analysis of their everyday professional life. It shows that the paradox of their marginality - despite their possessing high educational capital in their society, comparable to that of highly educated professional Jewish (men and women) and Arab-Bedouin male colleagues - is reproduced t…
Marx, Emanuel: Bedouin of Mount Sinai. An Anthropological Study of Their Political Economy
Anthropos , Seite 251 - 252
Between Local and Foreign Structures: Exploring the Agency of Palestinian Women in Israel
Stemming from the literature that examines the importance of structure as a means that produces agency, this article aims to analyze Palestinian women's agency in Israel as negotiation with particular conflicting structures. While Middle Eastern women‘s agency is structured within Arab religious and cultural resources, Palestinian women’s agency in Israel, We claim, is not only structured by Arab cultural and religious resources, but is also stru…
Regendering space and reconstructing identity: Bedouin women's translocal mobility into Israeli-Jewish institutions of higher education
This article offers a geographic perspective on the mutually constitutive relations between institutions of higher education and Bedouin women's gendered spaces, identities and roles. Situated beyond Bedouin women's permitted space and embedded in Israeli-Jewish space, institutions of higher education are sites of displacement that present Bedouin women students with new normative structures, social interactions and opportunities for academic lea…
Our problem is two problems: That you’re a woman and that you’re educated”: Gendering and racializing Bedouin women experience at Israeli universities
Justice without Government: Bedouin Law from Sinai and the Negev by Clinton Bailey
Higher Education as a Platform for Cross-Cultural Transition: the Case of the First Educated Bedouin Women in Israel: Higher Education and Bedouin
This article examines two groups of Bedouin women who studied in different cultural spaces. The first group, due to a lack of high schools in the Negev (during the 1970s), were obliged to leave the village to study and reside in boarding schools in the central and northern regions of Israel. These women returned to their society of origin after the completion of their academic studies. The second group went to Jewish universities in a town near t…
Turning points in the lives of two pioneer Arab women principals in Israel
This study investigates the managerial career development of two Arab women, pioneer principals within the Arab education system in Israel. Using in-depth interviews relating to the characteristics of the different stages leading up to and within their careers as school principals (childhood and academic studies; the struggle to achieve the position; and the period in their position as principal), the study reveals the characteristics and evoluti…
Gender and higher education in different national spaces: Female Palestinian students attending Israeli and Jordanian universities
This study examines the higher education experience among Palestinian Arab females in two national spaces and seeks to determine whether studying at an Arab institution of higher learning in a nearby Arab country can alleviate the emotional and economic difficulties that affect Palestinian women at Israeli universities. What can institutions of higher learning in Israel learn or derive from the proposed model to relieve the alienation and exclusi…
Settling for less: The planned resettlement of Israel's Negev Bedouin - By Steven C. Dinero
Identity and gender in cultural transitions: Returning home from higher education as 'internal immigration' among Bedouin and Druze women in Israel
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 …
Does Education Necessarily Mean Enlightenment? The Case of Higher Education among Palestinians-Bedouin Women in Israel
This study challenges and evaluates modern-liberal-humanistic discourse on education as enlightenment through analysis of the life stories of the first Bedouin women to acquire higher education (hereafter: First Women). The liberal discourse is examined in terms of its ethnic and genderial contexts and the special status these women gained as trailblazers. I explore the meaning of enlightenment among Bedouin women and the question of when and whe…
Coping with `forbidden love' and loveless marriage Educated Bedouin women from the Negev
The issue of love and marriage is considered a taboo topic that has not yet been researched in the Bedouin community in Israel. This is especially true of the subjective experience of Bedouin women. This article describes the encounter of Bedouin women, who were the first in their tribes to study in higher education institutions, with the issue of love connections with men from `forbidden tribes' and other difficult marital situations arising fro…
Between tradition and modernization: Understanding the problem of female Bedouin dropouts
This study discusses the problem of Bedouin girls dropping out from the public school system in the Negev region of Israel. Data show that this phenomenon results from a conflict between the modern Israeli institutes’ perception of modernity (which promote coeducation) and the Bedouin traditions that remain the cultural ethos of the girls’ fathers. Israeli institutions’ perception of modernity (enlightenment theory) aims to modernize the Bedouins…
