Language, academic adjustment, and help-seeking perceptions among Arab students from East Jerusalem in Israeli higher education
This study examines the academic experiences of Arab students from East Jerusalem in Israeli higher education, focusing on how language, academic adjustment, and help-seeking intersect under conditions of structural and linguistic inequality. It challenges dominant models that frame adjustment as a linear process of integration and instead introduces the concept of constrained participation to account for the uneven and negotiated nature of acade…
Invisible Citizens
Recognition theory has emerged as a central framework for understanding injustice in societies marked by ethnocultural diversity, structural inequality and contested belonging. Moving beyond narrow distributive or legal accounts of inequality, recognition‐based approaches illuminate how dignity, identity and institutional status shape access to justice. This study develops a multidimensional framework of misrecognition and applies it to the margi…

This study presents a critical literature review focusing on the multilayered adaptation experiences of Arab students in Western academia. Drawing on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, the review analyzes findings from empirical studies conducted in the U.S., the U.K., and Turkey. Although Turkey is often perceived as a Muslim country culturally close to the Arab world, the literature reveals substantial adjustment challenges for Arab st…

By examining the relationships between tribal societies and the Iraqi, Syrian, Saudi Arabian, and Israeli (Palestinian) state…

This study aims to benefit Muslim women by bringing their experiences to the forefront and providing them with an opportunity to voice their distress without concern. The study examines the experiences of Muslim women immigrants in three cities in Germany. These women experienced excl…

Degree of Adaptation of Jerusalem Palestinian Students at Israeli Academic Colleges
Several international and local studies have indicated that Arab students face specific difficulties in adapting to and integrating into Israeli colleges. This research aims to identify and analyze the adaptation difficulties faced by Palestinian students in academic colleges in Israel. The research sample consists of Palestinian freshmen from different schools and neighborhoods in East Jerusalem who are studying at a college in West Jerusalem. I…
Curriculum development in self-governed Israeli Arab-Bedouin elementary schools
Since the last few decades of the twentieth century, increased independence and autonomy of local schools through the implementation of school-based management (SBM) have become widespread in Western education. SBM is designed to operate within a more general framework of decentralisation of the educational authority. This research set out to investigate to what extent SBM in Arab-Bedouin elementary schools has impacted local curriculum developme…
Teamwork in Israeli Arab-Bedouin School-Based Management
Throughout the western world a leading example of the educational reforms that have been implemented in the late twentieth and twenty-first century is School-Based Management (SBM), a system designed to improve educational outcome through staff teamwork and self-governance. This research set out to examine the efficacy of teamwork in ten SBM-designated Arab-Bedouin elementary schools in Israel. Two explicit issues were examined: (1) What impact d…
