Research interests

I am interested in Feminist Theory (more so on Islamic Feminisms), and Gender and Development. My Doctoral thesis sets out to explore gender equality narratives in Saudi Arabia. It is specifically designed to map online discourses regarding the changing role of Saudi women, more so in relation to Saudi Vision 2030.

I am also broadly interested in:

International Relations
Social Movement Theory
