Booklet with Areej Ashhab, Raghad Hilal, Ramzi Nimr, Hanna Salmon, Laura al-Tibi, Marta WódzDesign by Lena HolzerResearching Palestine organized and edited by Chris Harding tackles questions of what it means to conduct research in Palestine and on Palestinian society. The authors originally met bi-weekly at Dar Jacir over the course of several months in 2023 in order to gather together in a space where they could discuss creative ideas relating to their research outside of the restrictions of the academy. The zine was intended to further their ideas, however, since October 2023 and the intensification/violent step-up of the 75+ year genocide of the Palestinian people, the authors reoriented their works, situating the developing horror in Palestine. Works in order:Prologue: The Academy and Palestine, Chris HardingHorror Is A Human Feeling, Ramzi NimrThe Witnessing Voice, Hanna SalmonFrom Bethlehem to Jerusalem, Raghad HilalBetween The Pines: More-than-human Narratives beyond the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Forests,Marta Wódz and Areej AshhabLetters from Lydia Abbud to her Deceased Sister, the Palestinian Photographer Karimeh Abbud,Laura al-Tibi
