About Me

I am a scholar of comparative politics with a regional focus on the Middle East and North Africa. My research focuses on social and economic policymaking, women’s economic and political participation, and how public policy, law, and citizen-state interactions shape social norms. I combine qualitative and quantitative methods, including elite interviewing, focus groups, survey and field experiments, and computational approaches. At Princeton I have worked as a research assistant for the Arab Barometer; been an instructor for courses on international development, Islam and politics, and applied quantitative analysis; and served as coordinator of the Politics department’s Qualitative Research Colloquium. In 2018-2019 I was a Fulbright grantee to Morocco, and before coming to Princeton I was a research fellow in the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
