Biography

Greetings from Cairo, Egypt! My academic background was mainly in Economics. After graduation I felt that a more informed role in contributing to my country required a more interdisciplinary approach. Thus I studied Economics in International Development which included courses from Sociology, Political Science, and Management and received the Merit Graduate Fellowship Award from the American University in Cairo. Through my research at Cambridge I aim at connecting both the realm of ideas and the empirical world while analyzing social change with respect to consumption. I hope to examine economic decisions reflecting pieties that negotiate new social relationships in different geographical and ideological contexts in comparison to Egypt.
