الملخص:<p dir="ltr"><b>This conference contribution was presented by </b><b>Maysa Abuzant, </b><b>Alia R. Gilbrecht, Dr. Abdalkarim Zawawi, An-Najah National University, Palestine. (International Conference on Debate and Dialogue. An Initiative of QatarDebate 2025).</b></p><p dir="ltr">This study examines how female debaters from An-Najah National University embody Sumud, a form of Palestinian resilience rooted in preserving identity, culture, and community amid ongoing apartheid. Drawing on Sumud (Awayed-Bishara, 2023) and Critical Feminist Theory (Crenshaw et al., 1995), it explores how these women confront linguistic and gender-related challenges while asserting leadership and cultural identity. Using semi-structured interviews, the research investigates their experiences, focusing on cultural resilience, female leadership, and linguistic resistance. Findings aim to highlight the role of debate in empowering women, fostering resilience, and advancing Sumud within Palestinian higher education.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Conference information: The 2nd International Conference on Debate & Dialogue : An Initiative of QatarDebate (19 - 20 May 2025, Qatar National Conventions Center - QNCC, Doha - Qatar)<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p><p dir="ltr">See the conference information on the organizer's website: <a href="https://qatardebate.org/programs/academic-programs/2nd-icdd/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://qatardebate.org/programs/academic-programs/2nd-icdd/</a></p>
