A Palestinian academic at the Oxford University is one of five people shortlisted for the Inspiring Leader 2017 award, organised by the Guardian Higher Education Network.
Karma Nabulsi, director of Undergraduate Studies at the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford University, and is one of two women who have been shortlisted for the award.
Nabulsi specialises in anti-colonial history. Her latest project was “The Palestinian Revolution”, an online teaching resource in both Arabic and English that “explores the thought and practice of the Palestinian revolution during three decades, 50s-70s”.
Judges have said:
“Without her patience, dedication and commitment the experiences of numerous students at Oxford and elsewhere would have been immeasurably poorer… it is hard to imagine a more worthy recipient.”
The general public is now welcome to vote for who they think should win the Inspiring Leader 2017 award. The closing date for votes is 12 March while the winner will be announced on 29 March.
The shortlist was selected by an panel of higher education experts and Guardian journalists.
