About me

I am a Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at UWE where I have taught since 2018. I have taught several different undergraduate Politics and IR modules at both Cardiff University and the University of the West of England. These include modules about International Relations theory, Globalisation, International Development, Colonialism, Crisis and Change, Terrorism, Security and Migration, Gender and Global Politics, Middle East and African Studies and Research Methods. I am particularly interested in innovative teaching methods and have guest lectured on courses designed for Post Graduate Teachers. In March 2021, I was nominated for the Outstanding Teaching Award at the University of the West of England. I was nominated again for the Outstanding Teaching Award in March 2022. I was nominated for the Outstanding Lecturer Award in March of 2025. I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) and Fellow of HEA. I won a prize from the HEA exam board for my work on building antiracist classrooms.

My area of academic interest is the Politics and International Relations of Maghreb. I specialise in post colonial and critical approaches to security studies and IPE with an empirical focus on the MENA. I have presented my work at a variety of different academic conferences and co-organised a EWIS workshop in June 2023 . I have published text books chapters with publishers such as Bloomsbury and journal articles in journals such as Critical Studies on Terrorism. I have spoken on national radio several times about issues pertaining to security, economy and the Middle East.

I have a PhD in International Relations from Cardiff University. My PhD thesis was entitled 'Securing the State in Post-transition Tunisia: Reconfiguring Regime Legitimacy in an Age of Authoritarian Neoliberalism'. I have an MSc in Politics and Development Policy in Africa and the Global South (Politique et développement en Afrique et les pays du sud) from Sciences Po Bordeaux. During this masters, I was part of a term of researchers conducting a risk assessment of an urban transportation development project World Bank. I have a second MSc from Cardiff University in the ESRC sponsored Social Science Research Methods program specialising in International Relations. I have two undergraduate degrees - a Politics and International Relations degree from Cardiff University and a Politics and Economics degree from Sciences Po Bordeaux. I achieved First Class Honours in both these degrees.  In 2014, I won the Cardiff University Undergraduate Student of the Year Scholarship.

Area of expertise
