SOLIDAR – Susie Becher on recognition of the State of Palestine

Zulat participated in a conference hosted by Solidar​ to mark the 73rd anniversary of UN Resolution 181 and advance recognition of the State of Palestine. Representatives from Sweden spoke of the Swedish experience, Palestinian and Israeli speakers brought their views from the field, and others addressed the issue from the labor rights perspective. Zulat Steering Committee member Susie​ Becher spoke on how recognition would affect the shift from hope to despair on the Palestinian side and of the indifference that pervades the Israeli public.

Dr. Maha Sabbah Karkabi

 

Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Tel Aviv University (2015), a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Gender Studies, SOAS, University of London (2015-2016), a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Sociology at Tel Aviv University (2016-2017), and a postdoctoral fellowship Ph.D. at the Humphrey Institute for Social Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (2018-2020).
Dr. Maha Karbahi’s areas of interest focus on the connection between social change, family behavior, and gender inequality in societies in the process of change and specifically in Palestinian Arab society in Israel. Her research draws attention to the study of family life and employment, using a combined “ethnic lens” and “gender lens” and paying attention to the perspective of Palestinian Arab women, a group characterized by intersections between multiple marginal locations, which over the years has remained hidden from the research eye. Dr. Karkabi-Sabah’s research is published in professional journals and chapters in scientific books that are considered pioneers in family research, work, and gender equality.
