Welcome

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Geneva Graduate Institute and an affiliate with its Gender Center. My research focuses on state-society relations in the countryside, politics of social reproduction and the gender division of labor, and everyday contestations in peasant communities with a regional focus on North Africa. In my dissertation, I examine gender labor relations in the context of rural and peasant-led movements in post-2010 Tunisia. I am interested in how gender differentiation shapes production and reproduction dynamics and how these, in turn, shape claim-making behavior.   

My work has appeared in the Review of African Political Economy, Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy, Antipode, the Journal of Peasant Studies, Middle East Law and Governance, and Noria Research.

My research has received funding from the Institut de Recherche sur le Maghreb Contemporain, the Carnegie Corporation of New York through the Center for Maghrib Studies, the Project on Middle East Political Science, the American Political Science Association MENA section, Noria Research, and the European International Studies Association.
