Senior Lecturer in Arabic Studies, University of Westminster
I am a Senior Lecturer in Arabic Studies at the University of Westminster. I obtained my PhD from SOAS, University of Westminster, and taught there for a number of years. Before that, I studied English Language and Literature at the University of Birzeit in Palestine.
I have been active writing on Palestinian-Israeli politics for a number of websites, including International Relations, and the Electronic Intifada. My books include The Hizbullah Phenomenon: Politics and Communication (with Dina Matar and lina Khatib, 2014), Poetry and Politics in the Modern Arab World (2016) and A Map of Absence: An Anthology of Palestinian Writing on the Nakba (2019).
My interests include politics of the Middle East, Literature and Cultural Studies.
I am a member of a number of research centres and institutes, including the Palestine Studies Centre and The Middle East Institute in London at SOAS.
