Noor Hamwy

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My dissertation studies ethnic riots and political violence across the Middle East and North Africa. I ask why some towns erupted in violence while others facing similar tensions did not.

My work combines geocoding and qualitative interviews to understand what fuels, and what limits, violence and nationalist mobilization, with a focus on the MENA region.
