Biography
My research focuses on state-society relations in Egypt, in which I take an ethnographic approach to revisit conceptions of participation amongst youth in new popular (shaʿbi) quarters of Greater Cairo. As such, my research interests span Middle East politics and economy, including urban and everyday politics, resistance and mobilisation, informal networks, theories of participation, subject formation, neoliberal governmentality and subjectivity, theories of power, as well as medieval and contemporary history of the region. Doctoral fieldwork was carried out in three neighbourhoods of Giza: Haram, Boulaq al-Dakroor, and Imbaba.
