Thank you for your kind invitation. Your bio sounds very interesting and we share several areas of interest. As this semester draws to a close I will have a bit more time to discuss possible ways for us to perhaps work together or to at a minimum to exchange ideas.

I read your interesting bio and was amazed with the depth of your knowledge particularly in Palestine/Israel. I am a PhD student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. My origin is Iranian and I left Iran for political reasons in 1987. My research focus is on peace education in Palestine/ Israel and I did my research field mainly in Jerusalem. I would appreciate to get you input regarding the theoretical framework for peace education in the context of Israel/Palestine.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing fron you.

Thanks for sending message; it is very enlightening to see your profile. I am glad that I can learn from you a lot, our interests are quite matching esp the primary sectoral areas of interests and skills.
I am from Pakistan and just have returned from the UK after completing my one-year MA research. I wrote dissertation on "Radical Politics in South Asia" The Taliban and Globalization of Jihad".
I just visited the sites you gave on your page, on foreign policy and Resistance studies, those are interesting. I would like to know a little more about you.
I look forward to hearing from you
