 | | | | Marriage under occupation: Israel's spousal visa restrictions in the West Bank In the West Bank, hundreds of non-Palestinian women who are married to Palestinian men have recently been issued shortened visas with tightened restrictions. This means they are often prevented from working, their mobilities are severely reduced and they are placed in extremely precarious bureaucratic and procedural positions. The research in this article draws from fieldwork interviews with women affected by such restrictions to show how politically induced precarities produce gendered effects towards specific ends of the occupation of Palestine. We thus frame a discussion of the women's... |

| Some Reflections on the Future of Education Far from offering a tentative structured theory or solution regarding the urgently needed reforms concerning education in the 21 st century, we limit ourselves to some punctual considerations of how education can prepare students for the future. Even if they are not directly connected, we hope they may help in creating the indispensable radical paradigm shift in the way we teach and learn, which is needed to meet the multi-dimensional challenges confronting global society in the 21 st century. They involve the following points: an attitudinal change from memorizing to understanding;... |
