Fourth-year PhD candidate in Political Science, University of Wisconsin–Madison
I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My research focuses on nationalism and political violence among minority communities.
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.
Before graduate school, I was a Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, where I coauthored publications in Globalisation, Societies and Education, and sustainability. I hold an MPP from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar Foundation) and a BA in Economics and Public Health from the University of Washington.
I speak Arabic, English, and intermediate Hebrew.
