Bana Abu Zuluf, originally from Beit Sahour, Palestine, is a scholar and activist whose work intersects critical legal studies, decolonial theory, and Palestinian resistance. Growing up under Israeli occupation has profoundly shaped her academic and advocacy work, which focuses on challenging dominant legal paradigms and advancing Palestinian perspectives in international law.

Currently a Hume PhD Scholar at Maynooth University, Ireland, Abu Zuluf’s research critically examines people-to-people peacebuilding projects in settler colonial contexts. Her work argues that such initiatives often normalize structural violence while obscuring fundamental power asymmetries. She holds an MA in Inter-Asia Political Studies from SongKongHoe University, where her award-winning thesis analyzed Christian Zionism in South Korean evangelical churches and its role in legitimizing Israeli policies.

As a Research Fellow at Al-Quds University’s Human Rights Clinic and Advocacy Officer for the Good Shepherd Collective, Abu Zuluf combines academic research with grassroots advocacy. Her work on forced displacement of Palestinian Bedouin communities has contributed to International Criminal Court submissions and policy interventions. Her forthcoming book with Hart Publishing examines legal mechanisms of displacement and indigenous resistance strategies.

We are incredibly honored to host Bana Abu Zuluf here in Goshen and very much look forward to learning about her life and work as a Palestinian woman devoted to the justice and resistance of her people.

One Day

One Song

Stay tuned for this unique opportunity to get to know your neighbors and folks in your community. One song will be chosen. Music and parts will be sent out a month or two ahead of time. Then, anyone who wants to join will gather and work together for half a day of getting to know each other and practicing the song. The time will end with going to a large open space and singing the song together for the last time. This last performance will be video/audio recorded and sent to those who participated. Join us for this magical event!

Email ana@michianavoices.org with song ideas or questions.

More about No Other Land…

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

A film by Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal, Rachel Szor.
