I am a Fellow at All Souls College, University of Oxford, where I research Authoritarian Politics, with a specific focus on the Middle East and North Africa.

I am also a Co-Editor of The Journal of North African Studies and a Senior Research Fellow at the Project of Middle East Democracy.

I was previously the Margaret Smith Research Fellow in Politics and International Relations at Girton College, University of Cambridge.


My current research uncovers why in democracies some people decide to mobilise for autocracy.

Teaching

I am teaching two graduate courses on authoritarian politics. The first one is for Oxford's Department of Politics and International Relations. You can find the course syllabus here. In addition, I am in the process of preparing an optional course focusing specifically on the authoritarian politics of the Middle East and North Africa for Oxford's Middle East Centre, St Antony's College.
