Biography
Ibraheem's ethnographic fieldwork and archival research are located in the Golan Heights in south-western Syria (today’s northern Israel). He is interested in questions of historical continuities; of annexation after settler-colonialism; and in exploring how theological grammars come into tense symbiosis with sovereign polities.
Ibraheem is the recipient of a dissertation fieldwork grant from the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the Palestinian American Research Center (PARC). He is a fellow at the Evasion Lab Research Collective.
