Research Overview
My research focuses on the intersection of transnational diaspora activism, transnational repression, and social movements.
This builds on my experience researching politically and religiously motivated social movements, and their experience of forced exile. Through the study of social movements such as the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, I investigated the role that identity, religion, ideology and forced displacement play in bringing about social and political change. I also focus on identity politics, looking at how collective identities are challenged by the emergence of individual agency in social movements that are undergoing internal and external transformations.
