ABOUT
I am a PhD candidate in anthropology at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. My research examines how discourses about and practices of rights claims-making and governance in Tunisia constitute and are constituted by the circulation of affective regimes across the scales of the family, the nation, and international organizations at the intersection of politico-legal reform projects, socioeconomic transformations, and the emergence of new media technologies.
