Randa May Wahbe recently received her PhD in Anthropology from Harvard University. Her dissertation, “The Politics of Karameh: Palestinian Dignity and Defiance Against the Necrocarceral State,” is an ethnographic study of Israel’s decades-long corpse confiscation practices. The project was supported by a dissertation fieldwork grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation.  She also holds an M.P.H. in Epidemiology from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and a B.A. in International Development from the University of California, Los Angeles, and co-founded Students for Justice in Palestine at both universities.
