Research Interests

My dissertation, tentatively titled "'Poetry is Not a Luxury': Decoloniality and Palestinian-American Youth Artivism" explores how Palestinian-American youth use poetry to imagine and craft alternative decolonial futures, critique colonial systems of knowledge, and organize alongside other global and local anti-colonial movements.
