I joined the team in May 2019, and I taught at RAF College Cranwell for year a half before starting my current position in Halton.

Research Interests
My doctoral research extended a theoretical framework developed by Pedahzur and Perliger on counter-culture. The aim of this PhD project was to understand how living in counter-culture influences communities; to find out these communities’ characteristics and their attitudes towards political developments and their responses towards crises of political and religious nature.
My research interests include:
- counter-culture;
- civil disobedience;
- political violence;
- politics and international relations of the Middle East;
- Arab-Israeli conflict;
- right-wing political ideology.
I am willing to take PhD students, and I am happy to receive informal enquiries relating to research in any of the above indicated areas.
Teaching Responsibilities
I am teaching on five courses currently offered at RAF Halton.
