and Israelis: Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East, by
Abdel Monem Said Aly, Shai Feldman, and Khalil Shikaki, which is
written from a Palestinian, Israeli, and broader Arab perspective
to provide students with a multiplicity of narratives on the
history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and peacemaking efforts. In
addition to teaching, the Senior Fellow will conduct their own
research and participate in all activities of the Crown Center. The
successful applicant will be a Senior Fellow at the Crown Center

willing to adopt the course textbook and examine the conflict from
multiple perspectives, in accordance with the Crown Center’s
founding principle of balanced and dispassionate analysis.
Terms
The position is a one-year appointment beginning August 1, 2021 and
ending May 31, 2022. The position is renewable for a second year
upon evaluation. The Senior Fellow is required to teach
Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East in
