In order to preserve Palestinian culture and heritage, she has created a FaceBook page entitled “British Mandate Jerusalemites Photo Library.” She has also collaborated on the interactive documentary “Jerusalem, We Are Here.”
Writing has always been an important part of Mona’s life. As a child, she wrote stories and as a teenager, she kept a journal. Writing gave meaning to her life and helped her understand herself. As a young adult, she wrote essays and academic papers at university. During her career as an educator, she wrote about her students and published, "Belonging: Creating Community in the Classroom." Over the years, she’s also written academic research papers focused on the social history of Jerusalem for “The Jerusalem Quarterly.”
Since retirement, Mona has completed her book, "In My Mother’s Footsteps: A Palestinian Refugee Returns Home," which interweaves the story of her mother’s life and her own sabbatical year teaching conflict resolution in Ramallah. She is currently working on her next book about growing up in Alexandria, Egypt in the 1950s.
