DESCRIPTION:This talk will shed light on the process of adopting progressi
 ve pedagogies\, mainly from Freire’s work\, in the Palestinian school cu
 lture. Rabab’s main argument is that the process is challenging especial
 ly when it is conducted in a context that has witnessed seven decades of p
 olitical and social oppression. As a result\, the dialectic relationship b
 etween theory and practice plays a major role in shaping the type of educa
 tional leadership that the field calls for. Rabab’s presentation will\, 
 thus\, be divided into two parts. In part one\, she will share her own int
 erpretation of emancipatory pedagogies and describe the challenges that th
 ey\, as Palestinian educators have faced when implementing them in practic
 e. In Part II\, Rabab will describe the particular context of Palestinian 
 education and discuss how social\, political and historical factors have i
 nfluenced both the culture of schools culture and educators' activism. Rab
 ab will support her argument with two case studies of what she perceives t
 o have been successful initiatives that show some indicators of progressiv
 e change: one in the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank and t
 he other in an Arab school in the city of Haifa. Finally\, Rabab will outl
 ine some issues she believes both academics and educators anywhere should 
 consider as they integrate critical pedagogies within their respective set
 tings.\n\nRabab Tamish is an assistant professor at Faculty of Education- 
 Bethlehem University (Palestine). She has been working for years as a cons
 ultant in training programs for professional educators in the field of com
 munity engagement and learning with a special focus on critical pedagogies
 . She is the first director and founder of the Center for Excellence in Te
 aching and Learning at Bethlehem University\, which aimed to provide oppor
 tunities for faculty members to enrich their pedagogical and action resear
 ch practices. Rabab has been engaged in several school research projects t
 hat aim to enhance the quality of education in Palestinian schools by payi
 ng attention on the school as a development unit where parents\, teachers\
 , headteachers and pupils work together to improve the quality of the lear
 ning culture within their respective contexts.\n\nWednesday 10th February
