Being an Arab l ecturer in a Jewish academic institution under fire has challenged me as a professional, a researcher, and a lecturer. Social workers often func tion in the context of conflicts, but the practice focuses on normative social problems such as domestic violence, poverty, and crime rather tha n the effects of the conflict on social workers and their clients. In my academic institution, Sapir Academic College, which for years has been in a conflict area and under fire, students are not equipped with releva nt knowledge and skills. In my speech, I will present my personal narrat ive documented during three of Israel’s wars with the Gaza Strip.< br />
