Profile
Prior to becoming an Honorary Lecturer in SPIR, I previously held teaching positions in the University of Leicester and the University of Birmingham.
Research
Research Interests:
'My research draws on IR theory, particularly classical realism and post-colonialism, and its application to contemporary debates in US foreign policy, global justice and IR pluralism. My articles have appeared in such publications as International Relations, Journal of International Political Theory and European Journal of International Relations. I am also a frequent op-ed contributor in the newspaper Al-Ahram.
