Palestinian History, Sociology, Culture and Resistence | Nov. 14 - Palestinian woman Today's class, which will reflect on Palestinian women, will be taught by Professors Lena Meari and Samia Al-Botmeh. Lena Meari, an assistant professor of cultural anthropology at the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Institute of Women's Studies at Birzeit University, Palestine. She received her PhD in Cultural Anthropology with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research from the University of California, Davis. Has special interest in the geopolitics of knowledge production; subject formation in colonial contexts; decolonizing methodologies; decolonial feminist theory and practice; and revolutionary movements. Her publications include "Sumud: A Palestinian Philosophy of Confrontation in Colonial Prisons" , "Re-signifying `Sexual` Colonial Power Techniques: The Experiences of Palestinian Women Political Prisoners" , and the co-edited books "Rethinking Gender in Revolutions and Resistance: Lessons from the Arab World" and "The Politics of Engaged Gender Research in the Arab Region Feminist Fieldwork and the Production of Knowledge". Samia Al-Botmeh is an assistant professor in economics at Birzeit University. She has completed her PhD at the School of African and Oriental Studies- University of London, in labour economics. Her research focused on Palestinian Women's Labour Supply and explanations of their Low and fluctuating Female Labour Force Participation. Areas of interest and publications are gender economics, labour economics, and political economy of development. She engaged in research on alternatives to neo-liberal development in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the political economy of development under colonialism and gender differentials in labour market outcomes. Contextualizing, the escalation of violence against the Palestinian people has encouraged debate among students and faculty from various courses and projects at UFABC, particularly in the Bachelor's in International Relations (BRI), the Observatory of Brazil's Foreign Policy and International Insertion (OPEB), the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies (CEAI), and the Graduate Programs in World Political Economy (EPM) and International Relations (PRI). In the search for effective ways to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause, the idea emerged to establish academic and scientific cooperation ties between UFABC and a Palestinian university. The aim is to unite efforts in combating the violence that, in the occupied Palestinian territories, also affects the education and research sectors, through dialogue and collaboration in various fields of knowledge. The initiative moved forward, and on September 13, 2024, the UFABC Service Bulletin published the Cooperation Agreement, whose primary goal is to establish academic, scientific, and cultural cooperation with Birzeit University. Through future mobility and collaboration efforts, both institutions will strive to build a strategic partnership on a permanent basis. In this context, the present course was created, with the aim of promoting this academic-scientific exchange in the study of the history, sociology, culture, and resistance of Palestine, and it will be taught by faculty from UFABC’s new partner university, Birzeit.
