Biography

Rawan Asali Nuseibeh completed her PhD fellowship at Durham University in 2013 at the Schools of Applied Social Sciences and of Government and International Affairs. Her field of research has included educational and social exclusion in areas of conflict and fragility, with a focus on Jerusalem.

"It con-vincingly lays out the different ways in which the Israeli government actively hinders the educational advancement of the Palestinian residents, systematically excluding them based on their ethnicity. This book will be a valuable resource for those studying an example of ethnically biased provision of education, or those looking for an example in microcosm of Israel’s ethnocratic policies. Replete with information referring to studies on best practices in education and the ways in which education can reinforce ethnic divisions, Rawan Asali Nuseibeh’s Political Conflict and Exclusion in Jerusalem: The Provision of Education and Social Services provides much evidence in support of the ethnicization of the provision of Israeli civil services in East Jerusalem.
