My fields of interest include: Shari'a law, legal pluralism, medieval and modern Egypt, and the Arab-Palestinian minority in Israel. I teach and publish about these topics. My recently published book, Legal Pluralism in the Holy Coty: Competing Courts, Forum Shopping and Institutional Dynamics in Jerusalem (Ashgate, 2015)provides a portrayal of a shari'a court in contemporary West Jerusalem, which belongs to the Israeli legal system but serves Palestinian residents of the eastern part of the city. Based on participant observations in the studied court as well as on court cases and rulings, the book draws a rich picture of an intriguing institution, which operates in an

2 environment marked by exceptional political and cultural tensions and far-reaching legal pluralism. The book offers fresh perspectives on the phenomenon of legal pluralism, on shari'a law in practice and on Palestinian-Israeli relations in the divided city of Jerusalem. In addition to my continuous interest in Islamic law and in shari'a courts, I am also engaged in several other research projects. Together with Prof. Yossi Rapoport (Queen Mary, University of London), we translated an important manuscript written in 13 th century Egypt. An annotated translation and scientific edition of al-nābulusī's Villages of the Fayyūm (vol. 1 of Rural Economy and Tribal Society in Islamic Egypt), is to be published by Brepols in This volume is a product of several years of research, funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council. It includes the edited Arabic text, our annotated translation of this text into English, as well as a comprehensive socio-historical background chapter. As part of the History of the Fayyum research project, we also constructed fiscal and demographic data sets and maps based on details provided in the manuscript, and created a special website that makes these data sets available to other researchers ( With the support of the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research (TAU), I am also engaged in research into communal mechanisms of dispute resolution among Arab- Palestinians in the Galilee. A monograph titled, Mediators in Disputes and in State- Community Relations: Dispute Resolution among Arabs in Israel from a Legally Pluralistic Perspective [in Hebrew] will be published by the Tami Steinmetz Center in List of Publications: רשימת פרסומים: Note: For joint publications, the authors have contributed equally unless otherwise specified.
