DPhil in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation
2021

I am a DPhil student in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation and a recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship. My DPhil project explores the experiences of students from marginalized communities in higher education. Specifically, I study the challenges that Palestinian Arab students face in Israeli higher education institutions as a unique ethnic-national-religious minority group, and the ways that current systems attempt to address their needs.
I have recently completed an MPhil in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy evaluation with distinction from the University of Oxford. Prior to this, I had received my BSc in Psychology on the academic excellence scholarship Ofakim at the University of Haifa in 2018 where I explored the inter-generational transmission of collective memory of second and third-generations of the Palestinian Nakba.
Alongside my DPhil studies, I am part of the research team evaluating the impact of the Noor Initiative which aims to support and empower young Palestinian Arab women in Israel.
