ABOUT
My research and teaching engage international and intercultural communication, critical rhetoric, media studies, political communication, gender studies and social change in a variety of contexts, including social movements, political discourse and pop culture. More particularly, my scholarship considers how vernacular voices of resistance work to change their communities, with a specific focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). I also investigate issues of Arab and Muslim representation, performance, and identity in the United States and the MENA region.
