Beyond Security:
Reimagining Mental Health Care in Palestinian Communities Affected by Administrative Detention and Military Violence
Bailey Dressner
"Administrative detention, defined by its arbitrary nature and indefinite duration, not only violates the fundamental rights of individuals but also inflicts permanent trauma on the collective consciousness of the Palestinian community. To understand and address the perpetuation of violence, it is necessary to take a broader look at global security paradigms and their inadvertent contributions to the escalation of conflict. By examining the unintended consequences of security strategies, this study aspires to pave the way for a global security framework that transcends regional boundaries and promotes sustainable solutions by placing human rights and collaboration at its core. My goal is to amplify the voices of those affected by violence, approach my analysis with sensitivity and care, and advocate for interventions that prioritize justice and security, extending this commitment to the well-being of Palestinians and global citizens alike."
​ Bailey Dresser, an international relations scholar, wrote this research paper, which was published by the Orfalea Center for Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. As the editor for this research, I worked with Bailey on two things: the grammar and structure of her writing, and the professional requirements to be considered for publication. Together with my edits and her writing, she produced a polished, impactful piece of research that was accepted for publication. ​
​
Grammar and Structure
I meticulously reviewed Bailey Dresser's research paper, focusing on improving its grammar and structure. This involved reorganizing sections for better flow, ensuring clarity and coherence, and correcting grammatical errors. My goal was to elevate the paper's overall readability and academic quality.
​
Professional Requirements
I guided Bailey in meeting the professional requirements for publication, which included adhering to the formatting guidelines, ensuring proper citation styles, and aligning the paper with the submission criteria of the Orfalea Center for Global Studies. This collaboration ensured the research met the high standards required for publication.
