Profile

I am an interdisciplinary and mixed-method researcher with key interests in research & policy related to gender inclusion and forcibly displaced populations. My PhD focuses on the linguistic barriers to entry into the Egyptian workplace for women. Specifically, I explore how the language used in recruitment affects applicant and recruiter attitudes and behaviours.

Thesis title: A psycholinguistic exploration of the linguistic barriers to women’s entry into the Egyptian labour market.

Supervisors: Devyani Sharma, Linnaea Stockall, and Tessa Wright
