About
I am a Political Science PhD student at the University of Michigan, specializing in Comparative Politics. I study issues of religion, identity and representation, with a focus on how the state interacts with religious minorities in advanced democracies. I'm currently interested in the role civil society plays for Muslims as a political minority in France.
I have also done some work on the relationship between state and religion in the colonial context, looking at how the French empire approached Islamic establishments in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. In the future, I hope to use this research as a way of bringing a historical lens to the question of how Islam organizes itself today, both in France and in North Africa.
