Welcome dear visitor,
The blog’s purpose is to collate my musings and link back to my pieces published elsewhere on the web.
I am a sociologist, Middle East analyst, writer, and the occasional standup comedian. I am based between Casablanca, Berlin, and Alexandria. I hold a PhD from the University of Sydney, specializing in political sociology and political philosophy. I am also a graduate of the Australian National University with a Master of Arts (with Honours) in Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies, and a Master of Diplomacy.
My specialized areas of focus are Arab public spheres, Mediterranean studies, contemporary Alexandria, decolonial/postcolonial studies, intellectual history, cities, citizenship, exile, technological modernity, and political philosophy.
