She also discusses the concept of unchilding, as outlined in her book Incarcerated Childhood and the Politics of Unchilding (Cambridge University Press). She says: "our [Palestinian] children are political capital in the state. The state looks at them and clearly defines them as non-child. They can be killed, they can be incarcerated, you can prevent them from studying...".

Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a Chair in Global Law at Queen Mary University on London. Her research mainly focuses on gender-based violence, violence against children in conflict-ridden areas, crimes of abuse of power in settler-colonial contexts, surveillance, securitisation, and social control.
