Course description
The course focuses on the relationship between the life experiences of Jews and Arabs in Israel and wider issues in political sociology, social inequality and the politics of space. We will discuss central issues pertaining to life in the geographical space shared by the two national groups, as well as social and cultural issues of each group independently. The course will enable students to develop tools for critical reading of texts and of contemporary social phenomena.
The course has a unique structure, combining lectures with structured discussions in small groups or One on One. The course will also include a practical component, such as a collective planning of a day seminar in the Faculty of Social Sciences. In the second half of the semester students will receive guidance and support from the academic staff, toward the completion of the practical assignment, which will constitute part of the final assignment.
The personal encounters between Arab and Jewish students throughout the semester and in the course of working on the assignment will provide a productive site for a sociological and anthropological consideration of majority-minority relationship in Israel, and in relation to the study materials.
