Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in political science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. I hold an MA in Migration Studies from the Sussex Center for Migration Research at University of Sussex and an MA in Political Science from Syracuse University.

My research looks at migration studies and refugee politics in comparative perspective, with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa. In my doctoral dissertation, I examine relationship between democratic transitions and migration and refugee policy, both in Tunisia and in comparative perspective. I am also an experienced instructor and graduate teaching assistant in the Political Science department and a Teaching Mentor in the Graduate School at Syracuse University.
