I have 6 years of experience and specialize in the field of Middle East history and policy with specific knowledge in the areas of Muslim-Christian relations, Coptic Christians and women. I have published on such topics as Coptic Christians in early modern and contemporary times, women and gender and sectarian relations in the Middle East. I have testified on the future of democracy in the Middle East (congressional), woman’s rights and the rights of non-Muslims in the Middle East.
