reports and policy papers
I’ve produced flagship reports for national commissions, think tanks, and policy organisations. Recent examples include:
“From Arrival to Integration: Building Communities for Refugees and for Britain,” flagship report for the UK Commission on the Integration of Refugees (March 2024)
“Dividing Lines: Reimagining Social Division in ‘Divided Societies’,” The Foreign Policy Centre (July 2022)
“A ‘Broken System?’ Asylum Reform Initiatives 1997-2022,” The Good Faith Partnership (2023)
Journalism, writing, and public speaking
I bring substantial editorial and current affairs expertise, including as founder and editor of The Arab Review from 2011-2020. My writing has appeared in The Economist, The Telegraph, the New Statesman, The Conversation, and Al Jazeera.
My academic research has been published widely in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and have co-edited a number of Special Issues on topics ranging from Islam in Europe to topographies of coexistence. I also have extensive experience of public speaking, including conferences, workshops, lectures, podcasts, brown bag seminars, and symposia.
My book, based on more than a decade of research among Shi’a Muslim communities in the UK, is currently under contract with Taylor and Francis.
Consulting and analysis
I have provided consulting, research, and analysis services to a range of clients—including The Woolf Institute, the British Academy, the University of Cambridge, Lord Khan, the Al-Khoei Foundation, Integrity Consulting, and Crisis24.
I also have experience working in open-source intelligence for corporate and third sector clients operating in Europe and the MENA region.
