Gender, Popular Culture, and the Aftermath of Armed Resistance in Palestinian Camps in Jordan
Through a focus on the experiences of refugee women political activists in the period between the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s, this article examines the ways in which gender norms and symbolic cultural practices are repurposed to reflect the interests of secular and Islamic nationalist groups. It looks at the overall implications of this on the ethos and trajectories of Palestinian resistance, investigating how the lionization of the …
Feminist Silences in the Face of Israel's Genocide Against the Palestinian People: A Call for Decolonial Praxis Against Complicity
Feminist scholarship has long been committed to advancing justice, challenging systemic inequalities, amplifying the voices of women and other marginalized groups, and fostering global solidarity. However, the ongoing genocide in Palestine exposes a troubling silence within the field, revealing a deeper systemic failure to confront colonial violence (see also, Aldossari 2025; Ajour 2025; Jabiri 2025).1 This silence is not merely the absence of sp…
Why Palestine is a feminist issue: A reckoning with Western feminism in a time of genocide
At the time of writing, Israel has waged a relentless and barbaric war on the Gaza Strip for more than 400 days. No one can say that they did not know. As Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, an adviser to South A...
Palestinian Refugee Women from Syria to Jordan: Decolonizing the Geopolitics of Displacement
Based on four years of field research in Palestinian camps in Jordan - including unique interviews with Palestinian refugee women, aid workers, and representatives of international organisations and NGOs in Jordan - the book reveals the extraordinary layers of discrimination suffered by Palestinian women from Syria displaced to Jordan. The women’s experiences show them caught between settler colonialism, militarism, nationalism, refugees’ global …
The continuity of Othering in feminist methodology: Activist-scholar and the insider/outsider dynamics
In this article, I argue for the need to nuance our understanding of insider/outsider relations and challenge self–other dynamics in the research process. Using my own research field experience to set up how Othering occurs, I engage with the rigidity of the insider/outsider dynamic and the inflexibility arising from how ‘Western’ knowledge production processes ask one to maintain objectivity and, therefore, replicate the power dynamics between t…
Gendered Politics of Alienation and Power Restoration: Arab Revolutions and Women's Sentiments of Loss and Despair
From the start of the Arab revolutions in late 2010, a connection between the law, state, political economy, gender norms and orientalist ideology has formed the foundation of women's systematic exclusion from politics. By unmasking processes in Egypt that have created the ideological and material conditions of externalising women's revolutionary acts, estranging their political involvement, and exposing them to various forms of violence, this ar…
