I am an Egyptian researcher focusing on anthropology and political sociology, and a master’s degree candidate at Durham University. I have worked at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Right and also served as the head of research and studies unit at the Adalla Center for Rights and Freedoms and as a political researcher and analyst at Egyptian think tanks and research and development centers, such as the House of Wisdom for Strategic Studies, as well as Anadolu Agency. Additionally, I have worked on projects with Yale University in the United States and Wits University in South Africa, and as a consultant for the Committee for Justice in Geneva and the Center of Development Services. I received his bachelor’s and pre-master’s degrees in political science from Cairo University.
