I am a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow for 2015-2017 in the Department of Communication at UC San Diego. My research broadly engages questions of settler colonialism, U.S. empire, and the fraught politics of both tourism and solidarity. I am currently at work on my first book project, a multi-sited ethnographic study of solidarity tourism in Palestine that draws from research I completed as a 2012-2013 Palestinian American Research Center Fellow. In my project, I analyze the ways in which solidarity tourism has emerged in Palestine as an organizing strategy that is both embedded in and working against histories of sustained displacement.
