In this week’s blog post, Katherine Blouin takes us through the inception and current direction of her project Everyday Orientalism (founded and co-edited with Usama Ali Gad and Rachel Mairs). Here, she discusses the collaborative nature of the project which centres voices and topics outside the hegemonic and ‘Classical’ canon. She also reflects on the project’s current focus on the history and cultural heritage of Palestine, providing a platform for scholars and activists to speak out about the atrocities currently plaguing the region, while also sharing resources on Palestine’s complex, rich, and layered history.
