Katie Natanel

Katie Natanel is a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter (UK). She enacts radical feminist pedagogies with teachers and students in her HE classrooms, exploring and developing decolonial and anticolonial orientations. Katie’s research engages with political participation and mobilisation; conflict and political violence; and affect and political emotions, primarily in the context of Palestine/Israel. More recently she has shifted focus to feminist decolonial politics and ecologies. Her first book project Sustaining Conflict: Apathy and Domination in Israel-Palestine (University of California Press) was awarded the 2017 Feminist and Women's Studies Association (UK & Ireland) Book Prize. Katie is a member of the Exeter Decolonising Network (EDN) and the Executive Editor for Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP).
