I heard about Camel and Bedouins culture in Oman webinar  during covid times in Oman. I found it so fascinating that later I decided to contact Ibtisam who delivered the webinar and who is a Bedouin herself. I really wanted to interview her for my podcast and I even thought I did not think she was going to reply back when I contacted her. She did reply back and took lots of her time to explain about her study, based on informal conversations with Bedouin children and their parents who have all grown up with camels in Al Wahiba, a Bedouin people of the Sharqiyah, Oman. By analyzing such narratives, she aimed to demonstrate the depth of impact that this contact with camels has on the cognitive, emotional, and social development of Bedouin children. The study sheds light on how the socio-cultural context embedded in the Bedouin culture affects the degree and nature of a child’s attachment to a pet camel and how that affects development in adolescence. The research took an inclusive approach by including both human and nonhuman agents (camels) in the analysis.     If you want to explore Oman in an adventurous way have a look at:   www.altairdestinations.com   To know more about Ibtisam and her work   https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7168600522768302081-is1n?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop   https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08927936.2024.2308401
