Hi!
I've applied this season for the first time to the PhD programs in Middle Eastern Studies at NYU and Columbia and the MA in Middle Eastern Studies at SOAS. I was accepted to SOAS but as an international student I won't be able to attend due to a complete lack of funding opportunities.
My research interests include postcolonial theory; transnational politics of representation; history of Arab nationalism and pan-Arabism; photography and visual culture in the Middle East; and social movements, particularly solidarities with Palestine.
I'd love to chat with others applying to these programs!
