Dr. Hashem Abushama is an Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow at St Peter’s College. His academic roles include teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in geography, with a focus on colonialism, capitalism, and cultural production. Educated at Earlham College (BA), Oxford (MSc, DPhil), he holds additional affiliations as EUME Fellow at Forum Transregionale Studien and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies.
His research integrates postcolonial Marxist theory with urban geography, examining cultural productions in settler colonial contexts, particularly Palestinian experiences in Haifa and Ramallah. Key projects explore links between Dada arts/Zionism and Gulf cultural hegemony. He employs counter-mapping techniques in both research and pedagogy, and collaborates with culinary collectives like Kitchen Marronage to explore food as cultural archive.
Notable publications include Cities and the Settler Colony (forthcoming) and award-winning essays such as 'A map without guarantees' (Stuart Hall Essay Prize winner). His work bridges interdisciplinary debates across urban studies, cultural theory, and decolonial praxis.
Grants and fellowships include a three-year EUME Fellowship (2023-25) supporting transregional research. Teaching contributions span preliminary exams to specialized MSc modules on extraction and colonialism. He actively engages in public scholarship through articles, interviews, and cultural collaborations.
