I’m a freelance journalist and an ESRC-funded Mphil candidate in the anthropology department of SOAS, university of London. My research comparatively explores Spanish/Catalan Jewish and Catalan/Spanish-Moroccan Muslim identity in contemporary Barcelona.
Some of my current research interests include: Jewish-Muslim relations in contemporary Barcelona; comparative Jewish and Muslim anthropology; progressive forms of Judaism and Islam; neo-liberalism; migration and contemporary European identity; diasporic identity; cosmopolitanism; mnemohistory.
Along with Dr.Adi Bharat and Katharine Halls, I am a co-ordinator of the Jewish-Muslim Research Network, which (amongst other events) organises a monthly reading group comparatively exploring Jewish and Muslim identity, Judaism and Islam and ‘Jewish-Muslim’ relations.
