ABOUT
My research bridges the fields of Middle Eastern history, women's history, and the history of international governance. I study the changes in the rights vocabularies used by Arab women. My current project uncovers how the internationalization of women's rights at the League of Nations, and later the United Nations, led Arab women to articulate an alternative conceptualization of women's rights.
