The workshop partners Jewish students from the Menashe region and Arab students from Qalansuwa, in a two-week dance encounter. In total, the data will be drawn from a pool of approximately 240 students, one-week pre-encounter, one-week post-encounter, and three months post encounter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-523\" src=\"http:\/\/people.socsci.tau.ac.il\/mu\/udis\/files\/2018\/12\/MIM-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/people1.socsci.tau.ac.il\/mu\/udis\/files\/2018\/12\/MIM-4.png 610w, https:\/\/people1.socsci.tau.ac.il\/mu\/udis\/files\/2018\/12\/MIM-4-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Qualitative data will also be collected from semi-structured interviews and ethnographic research conducted during the course of the workshop.
