I was involved in policy research for the period of 1994-2008. Within this period, I was a member of the Palestinian National Committee for Poverty Eradication and a member of the Consultative Committee which produced the Palestinian Annual Human Development Report.

From 2002 to 2007, I managed the National Participatory Poverty Assessment Project, as well as applying the poverty assessment findings and developing sectoral policy papers. I also served on a joint national and international research team for finalyzing a national Palestinian report on the localization of the UN Millenium Development Goals. In the period of 2002-2007, I was also a member of the National Committees for Population Policy and Youth Development where I was responsible for writing several policy research papers to used by national government and international development actors.

Since 2008, I have been extensively involved in academic research on gender issues in Palestine and the MENA region, and a set of publications have been produced.

I am currently a research fellow at the LSE’s Middle East Centre conducting a research on Salafist youth in Tunisia and the process of subjectification.
