Simulating Civil Society in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena): Fog, Friction, and the Lebanese Port Explosion
Introduction Though the effects of fog and friction on decision-making are frequently simulated in military settings, they are less frequently extended to non-military and non-governmental MENA spaces. This article provides a description and evaluation of a disaster simulation rooted in the real-world event of the August 4, 2020 Lebanese port explosion. The aim of the simulation is to prompt student learning of the decision-making dynamics of CSO…
Shinrin yoku as a pedagogy for peace amidst violence: Generating dynamic narratives of Palestine-Israel relations on college campuses
Amidst violent conflict over Palestine-Israel relations at colleges across America, how might we use our classrooms and campus landscapes to generate dynamic narratives that facilitate peace? Moving beyond a chronological ordering of events, a narrative is a constructed cohesive account of occurrences used to make sense of experiences and motivate action. In violent settings, narratives tend to retrench into static accounts that increase prejudic…

Nationalism, Language, and Muslim Exceptionalism By Tristan James Mabry
In Imagined Communities, Anderson (New York: Verso, 1983, p. 40) maintains that a national community capable of fomenting political change that could lead to democratic governance is only possible if there is: 1) a written language that created a ‘truth’ of fellow feeling in society; 2) a society organized around and under high centres; and 3) a belief that the world began with man at its centre with the capability of changing the world around hi…
Protection Amid Chaos: The creation of property rights in Palestinian refugee camps
The right to own property is something we generally take for granted. For refugees living in camps, in some cases for as long as generations, the link between citizenship and property ownership becomes strained. How do refugees protect these assets and preserve communal ties? How do they maintain a sense of identity and belonging within chaotic settings? Protection Amid Chaos follows people as they develop binding claims on assets and resources i…
Women, information ecology, and political protest in the Middle East
Does internet usage increase the likelihood of political protest, and is the effect larger among women than men? Using data from three waves of the Arab Barometer Survey, historical research and interviews with women activists, this paper contributes to the growing body of literature on information ecology and contentious politics in the Middle East. We hypothesized that the internet increases public protest for all individuals but differentially…

The Goldilocks Solution: Exploring the Relationship between Trust and Participation in Resource Management within the New Zealand Commercial Rock Lobster Fishery
Our understanding of the role natural resource users, and the governing institutions they create, has grown considerably in recent years. At the same time, our understanding of the role of trust in human interactions continues to grow. We use the case of New Zealand rock lobster (jasus edwardsii and Jasus verrauxi)to ask the question “What is the role of trust in an individual's decision to participate in natural resource management institutions?…
