Biography
Research
I am a third-year PhD student working on nationalist pro-state movements in autocracies, focusing on contemporary politics and the modern history of Saudi Arabia. My research methods include interviews in Arabic, an analysis of Saudi Twitter data, and archival work, including digitization of previously untapped Saudi cultural magazines and newspapers for quantitative text-as-data analysis, using various computational methods.
