About
Prof. Peled has a longstanding scholarly interest in Middle Eastern societies and cultures, both past and present. His research focuses primarily on the cultural history of the Palestinians, with particular attention to Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel. Incorporating political, social, and economic dimensions, his historical work is grounded in a synthetic approach in which culture, understood as a meaning-laden social fabric, plays a central role. His studies reflect a broad engagement with multiple fields in the humanities and social sciences, including Arabic language and literature, Middle East studies, history, and anthropology, as well as with the arts, particularly architecture, an area of sustained interest. Prior to joining the Ben-Gurion Research Institute for the Study of Israel & Zionism in 2010, Prof. Peled taught a variety of courses at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Between 2004 and 2010, he also taught in the ?Amirim? Interdisciplinary Honors Program at the Hebrew University.
