I am an instructor and a doctoral candidate of sociology at George Mason University. My master's thesis at the University of Virginia focused on women activists in the Arab world. Prior to beginning my PhD program, I spent 5 years teaching and conducting research in the Middle East. I am currently working on my PhD Dissertation titled, "The Feminization of Resistance, Social Reproduction, and Palestine: Women’s Work Beyond Surviving and Toward Thriving.” In this work, I am trying to better understand the making of informal politics within women spaces in Palestine.
