The Institute for the Transregional Study of the Contemporary Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia at Princeton University Announces Its Theme for 2005-2006 and Invites Applications for a Research Fellowship

2005-2006 Theme: "Society under Occupation: Contemporary Palestinian Politics, Culture and Identity"

Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip has now persisted for over thirty-seven years, during which time the number of Israeli settlers in the occupied territories has grown to hundreds of thousands and Israeli control over the territories has been strengthened by the use of checkpoints, by-pass roads, military engagement and, most recently, the construction of a wall separating Palestinians from Israel and from one another. Despite living under occupation, as refugees, or outside their homeland, Palestinians have maintained a vibrant cultural and political life. In 2005-2006, the Institute will focus research on contemporary Palestinian life, both under occupation and in the diaspora. We wish to explore Palestinian culture, society and religious life, as well as Palestinian national identity and contemporary Palestinian political, legal and ethical thought. We also hope to examine Palestinians' understanding of dispossession and occupation, and their visions of a post-occupation future.

The Position

The Institute invites applications for a 2005-2006 academic year research fellowship (September 2005 through June 2006). The fellow will be expected to teach one undergraduate seminar, which may be open to graduate students, during the spring semester, conditional on approval of a Princeton department and the Dean of the Faculty. The fellow will also be expected to pursue independent research at Princeton and to participate in Institute-related activities on campus. Preference will be given to academics whose research, teaching, and professional activities relate to the Institute's 2005-2006 theme. Travel assistance of up to $1000 for round-trip, economy-class airfare will be available to fellows and their immediate families. Salary and position title will be based on the successful applicant's qualifications.

To Apply

Applicants should send a current curriculum vitae, a statement (maximum length 3 pages) of the research interests they will pursue while at Princeton and a proposed course syllabus. Application materials may be sent by mail, fax, or e-mail to the contacts given below and must be received by February 28, 2005.

Anybody see something here that you don't particularly like? Islamists have infiltrated our once fine American universities to the point where an institution like Princeton is now openly courting "fellows" for the study of how put-upon the "Palestinians" have been by the "Israeli occupation!"

I wonder if part of the research fellowship might include studying how it is that mothers of PLO CHILDREN happily, cheerfully and proudly send their sons and daughters off to blow themselves up for the glory and honor of killing Israeli civilians!

.....and note how insidious it all is, using "Palestinians" as though there ever WAS a "Palestine" ("homeland") to which these Arab people have a "right" to return! They were kicked out of Jordan, and so ended up fabricating this myth about a "lost homeland!"
