I'm looking for Graduate history programs, preferably but not
exclusively PhD programs, in which I will be able to focus on some
aspect of Palestine.  Most importnatly, I am looking for professors
that have specialized in Palestinian history, or that are willing to
sponsor students studying Palestinian history, such as can be found at
Columbia and Stanford.  I am interested in strong history programs,
but this does not mean I am uninterested in lesser known universities
that meet the criteria above.
 
To summarize, I'm looking for a list of potential professors that I
can contact in regards to doing graduate work on the history of
Palestine, with the goal of gaining their support before they receive
my application in December.

I'd do a search of history journals for articles about Palestinian
history.  Not being a history person, I don't know of the big history
journals off the top of my head, but I bet if you go to any university
library they can help you and sometimes you can search databases
through public library websites.

Once you find articles about topics you are interested in, look at the
authors and see where they teach.  I'd use that as a jumping off point
for finding a grad program since your interest is so specific. I bet
you could even email some of them directly and see if they have any
recommendations.  Good luck.
