The Society of Reluctant Anthropologists reunite with an original SORA member, Nadeem Karkabi, who is now a lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Haifa. Our conversation explores themes of self-liberation, the Palestinian musical scene, and the changing dynamics of Haifa over time. Nadeem shares his personal experiences as a Israeli-Palestinian scholar living in a system of oppression and recurring violence. The conversation explores the impact of the right-wing government in Israel, the challenges faced by academics in the current political climate, and the personal experiences of being a parent in a conflicted region. It also delves into the power of collective transformation and the importance of creating spaces for individual and communal liberation.
