Description
This research examines the political geographies of Palestinian children, and the ways in which
their everyday spaces and practices are shaped by broader social and political processes. This
research begins with an investigation into the role of the child in the moral geopolitics of the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict. From here, the research explores how the competing discourses of
Palestinian nationalism and international humanitarianism, and the legacy of forced migration,
have shaped the spaces of childhood in a West Bank refugee camp, from homes, to schools,
streets, and youth centers. Finally, using participant observation, visual methods and guided
tours, this research explores how children reshape the discursive spaces of childhood through
their everyday practices.
