Document Summary

February 29, 2012: higher education, knowledge and power in the opt. Structure: the surprise of a palestinian higher education, occupation versus confrontation management, oslo"s paradoxes applied to higher education, globalization, autochthony, and autonomy. The accumulation of layers of knowledge about the arab world is set in a colonial frame, which doesn"t contradict the validity of its knowledge, but tells us how biased the research and information could be. Example: an orientalist priest visiting nablus, town in the west bank to study the habits and social dynamics of the palestinian society in 1925. He noted the laziness of the arab women, displaying the bias. Social science is very sensitive to the way the question is framed. The occupied palestinian territories has a huge amount of higher education, although it is most described as an entrapped or conflict area with the struggle and stresses of the citizens.
