Research: My current research project explores how transnational encounters in Mandatory Jerusalem transformed knowledge as part of its interplay with politics and culture. It focuses on the case of the Palestine Folk Museum, a trading zone of knowledge where Jews, Arabs, and the British collaborated in the production of cultural knowledge.

Relevant keywords: Cross-cultural encounters; Arab-Jewish relations; migrating knowledge; ethnography
