Abdullah Al-Bayari

Abdullah Al-Bayari is a Palestinian researcher, writer, academic, and art curator. He works at the Institute for Palestine Studies and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Palestine Studies.

His research interests intersect with critical geography, cultural studies, and urban, border, and mobility studies, with a particular focus on the relationships between space, the body, and power in colonial and postcolonial contexts, especially in Palestine and the Arab region. His work examines how space is produced, governed, and reshaped through urban planning, infrastructure, borders, and mapping, as well as the social and political consequences of these processes.
