I am a doctoral student in the Depart­ment of Devel­op­ment Sociology at Cornell Uni­ver­si­ty, and will graduate in late Spring 2025.

My work focuses on and con­tributes to the study of his­tor­i­cal sociology, envi­ron­men­tal justice, agrarian change, planning, and heterodox Arab/North African social thought. My research is focused on the Middle East – North Africa area, espe­cial­ly Tunisia.

My dis­ser­ta­tion is a history of modern Tunisia, focused on the social and eco­log­i­cal origins of under­de­vel­op­ment, and the tra­jec­to­ry of post-colonial planning.
