Isis Nusair – författare

A generation of scholar-teacher-activists have moved beyond collaborating in theory to embodying, engaging in, and sharing how they practice their pedagogy. Isis Nusair and Barbara L. Shaw edit essays that link feminist, queer, anti-racist, decolonial, and disability theory and practice while using intersectional, transnational, and interdisciplinary approaches to explore how the personal remains political. The contributors describe ways of building communities within and beyond academic programs and examine what it means to engage in community-building work and action across institutional boundaries. In Part One, the essayists focus on the centrality of community building and reinterpreting bodies of knowledge with students, staff, faculty, and community members. Part Two looks at bringing transnational approaches to feminist collaborations in ways that challenge the classroom’s central place in knowledge production. Part Three explores organic collaborations in and beyond the classroom. A practical and much-needed resource, Pedagogies of Interconnectedness offers cutting-edge ideas for collaboration in pedagogy, education justice, community-based activities, and liberatory worldmaking. Contributors: Jordyn Alderman, Leen Al-Fatafta, Meryl Altman, MarÍa Claudia AndrÉ, Andrea N. Baldwin, Carolyn Beer, Luisa Bieri, Rebecca Dawson, Misty De Berry, Danielle M. DeMuth, Emily Fairchild, Sara Youngblood Gregory, Letizia Guglielmo, Jeremy Hall, K. Melchor Hall, Linh U. Hua, Christine Keating, Charlotte Meehan, Brayden Milam, Isis Nusair, Montserrat PÉrez-Toribio, Andrea Putala, Ariella Rotramel, Ann Russo, Kimberly Sanchez, Barbara L. Shaw, M.

Groundbreaking essays by Palestinian women scholars on the lives of Palestinians within the state of Israel.Most media coverage and research on the experience of Palestinians focuses on those living in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, while the sizable minority of Palestinians living within Israel rarely garners significant academic or media attention. Offering a rich and multidimensional portrait of the lived realities of Palestinians within the state of Israel, Palestinians in Israel Revisited gathers a group of Palestinian women scholars who present unflinching critiques of the complexities and challenges inherent in the lives of this understudied but important minority within Israel. The essays here engage topics ranging from internal refugees and historical memory to women's sexuality and the resistant possibilities of hip hop culture among young Palestinians. Unique in the collection is sustained attention to gender concerns, which have tended to be subordinated to questions of nationalism, statehood, and citizenship. The first collection of its kind in English, Palestinians in Israel Revisited presents on-the-ground examples of the changing political, social and economic conditions of Palestinians in Israel, and examines how global, national, and local concerns intersect and shape their daily lives.
