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…
The Personal Is Political: Teaching Decolonial Connected Feminist Middle East Politics through Self-Reflexivity
In the post-Cold War era, “Islamic terrorism” has taken the place of the Communist threat. The Middle East, a construct developed in nineteenth- and twentieth-century European colonialism, is the region from which this threat is said to emanate. Teaching politics of the Middle East is therefore by definition a political endeavor: even if students arrive to the classroom with very little factual knowledge about this region, they will, through medi…
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...
Ethics of Knowledge Extraction and Production
This reflection on the politics and ethics of social research in Jordan starts with the dynamics between individual researchers and then turns to the politics and policies of data ownership in funded projects. The power relations between individual researchers as well as those between foreign donors and local researchers indicate who is considered the producer of knowledge and who the owner of it. The essay draws on personal experiences from the …
Troubling the Political: Women in the Jordanian Day-Waged Labor Movement
The Jordanian Day-Waged Labor Movement (DWLM) played a central role in the Jordanian Popular Movement (al-Hirak al-Shaʿbi al-Urduni), commonly referred to as Hirak, from 2011 to the end of 2012. The large number of women who were active and took on leading roles in the DWLM contrasts with the absence of women's rights organizations in the Hirak. I argue that the DWLM was able to attract so many women because it developed a discourse and flexible …
Islamic Political Activism as a Means of Women's Empowerment? The Case of the Female Islamic Action Front Activists
This paper examines the effect that Islamic political activism has on the personal lives of women who are members of the Islamic Action Front. The paper studies how female members are able to better their daily lives through their Islamic party activism. To give the reader a better understanding of who the women are who are examined in this paper, the paper begins with a brief overview of the IAF and its women's section. Then the paper moves to e…
