I bring a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by a background in political science and human geography, and a commitment to bridging critical theory with empirical research. Particularly, I am interested in how state power and environmental imaginaries influence water policies and resource governance, especially in arid regions.
I completed my PhD in Human Geography at the University of Reading, where I examined how Algeria’s hydrocarbon sector shapes national water governance. During my PhD, I secured six research grants, including three travel grants, demonstrating a solid track record in competitive funding.
I have experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including human geography, civil society, environmental politics, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. I have also worked with NGOs such as People in Need, supporting development and media programmes resulting in experience that grounds my academic work in real-world policy and advocacy contexts.
I am deeply committed to fostering inclusive research spaces, decolonising geographical knowledge, and contributing to interdisciplinary debates on sustainability and justice.
