Service

I am a twice elected member of the executive council of the American Political Science Association's Migration & Citizenship Section, co-founder of APSA's Political Ethnography Working Group, and convener of several methodological workshops for APSA's Middle East and North Africa and Interpretive Methodologies & Methods Sections. I have worked to advance the professional and academic success of underrepresented students through my leadership roles in the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship and the Richard Rubin Scholar Mentor Program.
