I am a PhD student in International Relations at the University of Oxford. My thesis explores questions of political subjectivity and hegemony in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Embracing notions of contradiction, paradox, and fluidity, I trace the shifting terrains and scales of Jawlani anticolonial praxis amid Zionism’s attempts to produce colonial subjectivities. My research is supervised by Hashem Abushama and Yaacov Yadgar, and funded by Nuffield College and the ESRC.

As a DPhil candidate at DPIR and a Junior Researcher at the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative (ECCRI), my research examines public-private interaction in cybersecurity governance. Supervised by Professor Lucas Kello, I focus on cyber conflict and collaboration around critical infrastructure. Triangulating a range of data sources, my empirically driven work contributes to depoliticising the contemporary debate by establishing a timely analytical understanding of underlying dynamics.

I'm a DPhil (PhD) Candidate in Politics, researching resistance transformation and the trajectories of civil resistance campaigns. My research centres on mechanisms of failure, specifically the interaction between state repression and movement escalation.

I hold an MPhil in Comparative Government from Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, and a BA in International Relations and Economics from Jacobs University in Germany.
