My research traces how and which Jewish traditions and alternative Jewish histories in the MENA region are mobilized in Jewish Israeli activists’ efforts to rearticulate Jewish democratic political ethics in Palestine/Israel. This research will contribute to scholarship on the role of religion in conflict and peacebuilding, social movement mobilization, religion and learning/unlearning political identities, and the study of counter-archiving unlearning efforts in political mobilization in repressive knowledge regimes that carefully curate historical national narratives. This research will significantly enrich Kellogg’s thematic focus on religion and politics with a particular focus on nationalism, conflict, and peacebuilding.
