I am a second-year PhD researcher in International Relations, my academic pursuits revolve around delving into the depths of critical topics and engaging in thought-provoking debates. At the heart of my research lies a profound interest in religious peacebuilding, Islamic conflict resolution, the intricate interplay between religion and coloniality, and the ever evolving International Relations Theory.

The title of my research project is: The dynamics of Islamic Peacebuilding in Historic Palestine. My investigation aims to provide a deeper understanding of Islamic peacebuilding approaches using ethnography, and decolonial religious peacebuilding approach. The initial aim of this project is to explore the significance of the local religious role, investigating varies Islamic peacebuilding forms, practices, resources and actors in local Palestinian Muslim communities.

This study aims to examine the factors contributing to the underrepresentation and limited visibility of Islamic peacebuilding forms within the academic and policy-making spheres. Furthermore, it seeks to explore the reasons behind the reluctance to engage with this particular field. By investigating these aspects, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics that shape the current landscape and pave the way for increased recognition and engagement with Islamic peacebuilding initiatives.
