I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Laureate Centre for History & Population. Trained as a historian and urban planner, my research has focused on histories of cities, infrastructure and imperialism in the Modern Middle East and North Africa, as well as the Global French Empire. I am currently revising my PhD dissertation for publication under the provisional title of聽Contesting Concessions: Infrastructure, Imperialism and the Struggle for Sovereignty in Syria. I was a co-editor of the 2015 volume聽Making Modernity from the Mashriq to the Maghreb,听a collection of essays on the meanings of modernity in the Middle East. My work has been published in聽Radical History Review,听Arena,听Al Jazeera,听Jadaliyya听补苍诲听The Conversation. My new research project, through the Laureate Centre for History and Population at UNSW, seeks to chart the history of population as an object of state-formation, policy and debate in the Middle East and North Africa across the twentieth century.
