I grew up in Hebron, Palestine before moving to the U.S. for graduate school on a Fulbright Scholarship. My upbringing in Palestine shaped my interest in Environmental Justice issues. I have a MA and PhD in English from the University of Washington with a focus on the Environmental Humanities. My research itself is on the representation of settler-colonial infrastructure, necropower and the environment in both U.S and Palestinian Literature. I am currently a lecturer in both the Program on the Environment and the Comparative History of Ideas department at The University of Washington. I also teach Introduction to Environmental Science at South Seattle College. The courses I teach are generally environmental justice focused. I have also published and spoken on Mark Twain, Palestine, and Settler Colonial Infrastructures.
