Mohammed Alruzzi

Mohammed Alruzzi is a Lecturer in Childhood Studies at the University of Bristol's School for Policy Studies. His research focuses on Palestinian children's rights, education under occupation, child labor dynamics, and the political impacts on education systems in conflict zones. Alruzzi holds a PhD and has published extensively on topics including child detention in Israeli prisons, the collapse of the Palestinian Authority's educational infrastructure, and humanitarian responses to displacement.

His work critically examines how Israeli occupation policies, foreign aid dependency, and political fragmentation undermine Palestinian education. Recent research highlights Gaza's education crisis amid ongoing bombardment and humanitarian blockades. Alruzzi advocates for empowerment-based approaches to child labor rather than prohibition, emphasizing socio-economic realities in Palestine.

Key areas of focus include:

• Educational governance under occupation
• PA/PLO roles in curriculum development
• Child protection in refugee contexts
• Resistance pedagogies

His interdisciplinary approach combines policy analysis with grassroots perspectives, often collaborating with organizations like Al-Shabaka and EENET. Alruzzi's publications bridge academic rigor with actionable policy recommendations for Palestinian liberation through education reform.
