Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian will be presenting her recent book, Security Theology, Surveillance and the Politics of Fear (Cambridge University Press, 2015), addressing ideologies of security and surveillance and their impact on Palestinian experiences under Israeli rule. Applying a feminist perspective to her inquiry, Shalhoub-Kevorkian examines this topic by studying the micropolitics of everyday life from the regulation of birth to the arrangements governing death in the context of settler colonial governance.
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is the Lawrence D. Biele Chair in Law at the Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law and the School of Social Work and Social Welfare, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She also serves as the director of the Gender Studies Program at Mada al-Carmel, the Arab Center for Applied Social Research in Haifa.
Cost : Free and open to the public.
