I’m a scholar, writer, and editor. I received my PhD in History from the University of California, San Diego, in June 2024, and I am currently a lecturer at the History Department of the American University of Beirut. I am also a fellow at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy and the Arab Reform Initiative.
I’m broadly interested in the history of the modern middle east, global histories of planning, development, and culture, and the political economy of urban and rural spaces across the mediterranean.
My dissertation focuses on state modernization, planning, and development in rural Lebanon during the 1960s.
My PhD project has received generous financial support from a number of organizations and programs, including the Fulbright Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program, Chateaubriand Fellowship Program, UCSD Department of History, UCSD Institute of Arts and Humanities, and UCSD International Institute.
I have written for several American and Arab magazines and journals, you can find them here.
