CALL | Impossible Ethnographies; Notes on Israel’s Blockade of Palestinian Anthropology

Insaniyyat is soliciting reflections from researchers who have had projects interrupted, prevented, or simply made inconceivable due to Israel's restrictions on Palestinian movement. Closure and visa policies have wide implications for where and what is studied in the Anthropology of Palestine, who can conduct that research, and what is researchable. We are interested in contributions that demonstrate the material effects on scholars' research agendas and on the very possibility of undertaking research in Palestine. We ask that interested authors send us either a short abstract 250-300 words, or a longer narrative piece under the title "Impossible Ethnographies." Images are also welcome. Please share the call for contributions and submission form among any potentially interested authors.
