Abstract

This research examines the Nice 2 Meet U intervention program which, unlike other programs promoting dialogue between Arab/Palestinian and Jewish students on Israeli campuses, was a grassroots program initiated and moderated by students. The program was designed jointly by the initiators, the participants and the researcher/advisor using action research. The objective of the current study was to describe the negotiations among all the partners with respect to a central dilemma: should the program include political discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? The research proposes seeing the negotiations over designing grassroots conflict intervention programs as an arena in which the participants' academic, ethno-national and gender positions intersect and shape knowledge-power relations. Alongside the risks inherent in this process, it also offers potential for creating transformative spaces that challenge traditional patterns of power relations and encourage students to take part in changing the social atmosphere on campus.

这是谁的节目?就设计一个由学生发起和领导的校园犹太-阿拉伯/巴勒斯坦对话项目进行谈判

本研究考察了Nice 2 Meet U干预项目，与其他促进以色列校园内阿拉伯/巴勒斯坦和犹太学生之间对话的项目不同，该项目是一个由学生发起和主持的草根项目。该项目由发起者、参与者和研究员/顾问共同设计，采用行动研究方法。本研究的目的是描述所有合作伙伴之间关于一个中心困境的谈判:该计划是否应包括关于以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突的政治话语?该研究建议将设计基层冲突干预项目的谈判视为一个舞台，在这个舞台上，参与者的学术、民族-国家和性别立场相互交叉，并形成知识-权力关系。除了这个过程中固有的风险之外，它还提供了创造变革空间的潜力，挑战传统的权力关系模式，并鼓励学生参与改变校园的社会氛围。

期刊介绍： Action Research is a new international, interdisciplinary, refereed journal which is a forum for the development of the theory and practice of action research. Our purpose with this international, peer reviewed journal is to offer a forum for participative, action oriented inquiry into questions that matter--questions relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, that enable them to flourish in their organizations and communities, and that evince a deep concern for the wider ecology. The aim of the journal is to offer a viable alternative to dominant "disinterested" models of social science, one that is relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, their organizations and their communities.
