Linda Tabar

Dr. Linda Tabar serves as Associate Professor in Global Insecurities within the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex's School of Global Studies. Her academic trajectory spans teaching positions in Palestine (notably at Birzeit University), the United States, and the United Kingdom, reflecting her transnational scholarly engagement.

Her research critically dismantles colonial matrixes within the modern international order, examining racialized violence systems through decolonial and indigenous frameworks. Dr. Tabar's work uniquely bridges International Relations and security studies with Palestine studies, exposing intersections between settler colonialism, capitalist accumulation, and humanitarian intervention. Her scholarship consistently centers Palestinian indigenous experiences while engaging global anti-colonial movements from the Americas to Africa.

Dr. Tabar's publication record reveals a sustained focus on liberation praxis, with recent works like her 2021 New Political Economy article on land grabs demonstrating analytical continuity from her early 2003 studies of Palestinian NGOs. Her forthcoming Duke University Press book extends this trajectory into memory studies and decolonial futures. Publications span high-impact journals including Third World Quarterly and Journal of Palestine Studies, often generating significant scholarly engagement as evidenced by citation metrics.

Current research activity is evidenced by her book project and recent publications, though specific grant details aren't documented. Prospective students would engage with her critical methodologies examining everyday resistance within liberation movements, with supervision emphasizing decolonial approaches to global insecurities.

While no formal lab structure is documented, Dr. Tabar's collaborative work with Birzeit University's Center for Development Studies and transnational scholarly networks indicates a research environment centered on collective knowledge production across institutional boundaries.
