She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology (1997), and a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She completed an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University (1990) and a B.A. in Political Science/International Relations from the University of California, Los Angeles (1987). She has received numerous research grants, published in a number of venues, and presented her work widely. Her book, Resistance, Repression, and Gender Politics in Occupied Palestine and Jordan, was recently published as part of the “Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East” series of Syracuse University Press (2005).

Currently, she is working on a comparative research project titled, “Emerging Economies of Desire: Exploring New Relationship Forms in the Middle East and North Africa.” This project, which is based on field and other research in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, focuses on the relationship between the increasing transnational flows of bodies, ideas, products, and capital on the one hand, and emerging Sunni Muslim marital forms and contracts in the region on the other.
