Professor Karma Nabulsi is a Senior Research Fellow and Tutor in Politics at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford. Her research is on 18th and 19th century political thought, the laws of war, and the contemporary history and politics of Palestinian refugees and representation.

Her research is on 18th and 19th century political thought, the laws of war, and the contemporary history and politics of Palestinian refugees and representation. Her work is published in a variety of arenas: OUP, Verso, CUP, Annales, Etudes Philosophiques, the Journal of Political Ideologies, Government and Opposition, the European Journal of Political Theory, the Guardian, the LRB, and the TLS. She is currently contributing to the new Oxford Handbook of Rousseau, with a chapter on ‘Emancipation’.

Karma directed a civic needs assessment for Palestinian refugees, and was editor of its findings: Palestinians Register: Laying Foundations and Setting Directions (2006). She went on to design and direct the civic voter registration for Palestinian refugees to their national parliament, from 2011-2016, working with the UN, the UNHCR, and UNRWA, as well as with national and international central elections commissions. The endeavour also created a robust and secure online voting mechanism, designed with colleagues at Oxford, and used by the international institutions serving the needs of refugees.
