Her previous studies focused on social movement, issues of law and society, and, particularly, the application of strategic litigation as a political tool in the Egyptian context.
Abuzaid has published contributions on the topic of feminist activism in MadaMasr, an Egyptian independent journal, center for alternative policy solutions at the American University in Cairo, and the Journal for Middle East Women’s Studies (JMEWS).
Currently, Abuzaid is doing her PhD at the University of Warwick - UK where she studies the contextual and temporal centrality of the 2011 revolution on the ways by which Egyptian feminists conduct their legal activism.
