Currently, my academic pursuits center on the journalistic practices within the MENA region during global crises, including COVID-19 and climate change. My involvement in this research stems from my role as an assistant professor at Menoufia University since 2020. This endeavor is part of the "Global Risk Journalism Hub" research project, which brings together 80 researchers worldwide. As part of this project, the Arab team—composed of researchers from KSA, UAE, Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt, and Kuwait—focuses on post-COVID-19 journalism and environmental reporting dynamics within the region.

My research focus lies in political and intercultural communication, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East. I explore the intricate dynamics between media, politics, culture, and religion across the region. This research field has evolved from the foundation of my Ph.D. earned at Roskilde University in 2018, subsequently leading to my role as an external lecturer at the same institution until 2019.

I also explore the relationship between media and contentious politics within the Arab diaspora. A notable involvement in this domain centers around the collective research project (Mediatized Diaspora), in which I contributed as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen in 2019. The project's focal point revolved around the experiences of Tunisian, Syrian, Egyptian, and Bahraini communities residing in Europe.
