My name is Abdalhadi Alijla. I am a researcher, writer, speaker, and consultant specialised in social and political science. With a background in both quantitative and qualitative analysis, I bring a unique perspective to my work. Originally trained as an engineer, I transitioned into the field of political science to pursue my passion for understanding societal and political dynamics. My expertise extends beyond the Middle East and Palestine, although I frequently write, comment, and speak on issues concerning this region. I am committed to exploring diverse research topics and engaging in dialogue on a global scale. As a seasoned academic and trainer, I offer courses on researching the Middle East, dialogue facilitation, and science diplomacy. Additionally, I occasionally provide consultancy services that align with my expertise and experience.Please visit the ‘About<\/a>‘ link above for more information about me. Explore the sections below to discover my latest work and interviews.Currently, I am actively engaged in two research projects:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Project 1: Gaza Human Capacity Building.<\/strong> <\/span>This project addresses one of our time’s most pressing humanitarian challenges\u2014the aftermath of conflict in Gaza. With a specific focus on educational institutions and academic human and knowledge building, we aim to shed light on the path towards reconstruction and resilience.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Project 2: Art and Politics<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
I delve into the intriguing relationship between art and politics, examining how both state and non-state actors have harnessed the power of art to achieve two crucial objectives: legitimacy and propaganda dissemination.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Project 3: Between Resilience and Fragmentation: Social Cohesion in Conflict Areas<\/span><\/strong><\/div>

The research project contributes to the literature on social cohesion in conflict settings, focusing on Ukraine. Most studies investigating social cohesion are done in post-conflict realms in specific geographical regions.\u00a0 This project intends to fill the research gap by utilizing a transdisciplinary approach and mixed methods to examine social cohesion amid conflict. Therefore, this project aims to answer the following questions: (i)How does the duration and intensity of conflict in Ukraine influence social cohesion? (ii) How do veterans reintegration influence social cohesion in times of conflict?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>
