ABOUT
I am a PhD researcher in International History and Politics at the Geneva Graduate Institute. My current research delves into the memories of Palestinians to (re)construct, scrutinize, and map their fading narratives of Israel’s occupation of the Jordan Valley in 1967 – a critical period and important geography whose history is yet to be examined. I hold a Bachelor in Law and Public Administration from Birzeit University in Palestine and a Master in Development Studies from the Graduate Institute.
