I am a sociocultural anthropologist and a gender studies scholar. I research and write about labor migration, generational political imagination and mobilization, racial capitalism and gender-based violence in the Middle East and Sudan.

I have a PhD in anthropology from Columbia University, and I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the New School’s Zolberg for Migration and Mobility in NYC.

When I am not working, I like to explore new music, preferably in Beirut.
