 Shira Robinson
works on the social and cultural history of the Modern Middle East,
with an emphasis on colonialism, citizenship, nationalism, and
cultures of militarism after World War I. She is currently
revising her manuscript, Liberal Dispossession: Palestinian
Citizenship under Military Rule, 1948-1967, which examines the
Israeli state's imposition of military rule on the Palestinian
Arabs who remained within its borders after 1948. This book is
based on her dissertation, which in 2006 won the Halpern Biennial
Dissertation Award from the Association for Israel Studies.
Professor Robinson's research has been funded by the Fulbright
Institute, the Social Science Research Council, the Mellon
Foundation, and the Palestinian American Research Center.
Affiliated with GW's Institute
for Middle East Studies, she arrived in 2007 after two years on
the faculty at the University of Iowa and one year as Visiting
Fellow at the Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton
University.
