Dr. Khalidi is the author of over a hundred scholarly articles, and the co-editor of the Journal of Palestinian Studies. He is an important voice in academia working in the field of Palestinian history and the formation of Palestinian national identity. He is the author of numerous books, most notably: Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness (1997), Resurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East (2004), The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood (2006), and The Hundred Year War on Palestine (2020).
Dr. Khalidi's work as a professor, teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, and advising several dozen PhD dissertations, has been consistent throughout his tenure as an academic. He has taught courses on modern Palestinian history, Islamic movements, the Cold-War in the Middle East as well as a popular undergraduate lecture on the history of the modern Middle East. He has been at the center of institutional debates regarding freedom of speech and an anti-Zionist critique of Israel in the U.S. academy and because of the nature of Dr. Khalidi's research, he has been targeted by the New York City Department of Education as well as student groups on campus for his positions on Palestine. In 2002 and 2004, he was targeted by a campaign of sustained harassment by "campus watch", a group at the University of Chicago, and the New York Sun respectively.
