I am currently an assistant Professor in the Department of Mass Communication at Qatar University. I have been the head of Arts and Social Science department at University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza, and lecturer of Media at the Media and Communication Technology Programme until 2018. I worked previously as a lecturer at the Department of Media and Political Science at the Islamic University of Gaza, Palestine.
I studied at The University of Exeter, United Kingdom (PhD), the Near East University, Cyprus (MA) and the University of Gaza, Palestine (BA). I have effectively participated in the program of the curriculum development of the media departments at the Palestinian universities, within
the National Initiative of Developing Media in Palestine led by The Media Development Centre at Birzeit University, in partnership with UNESCO and Sweden Government. My teaching portfolio included the following courses: Basic Principles of Media and Communications, Digital media (New Media), Public Relations, Communication Skills, and Media Ethics. My research interests lie in the intersection between the Social Sciences and
Media Technology, in the fields of Media Studies, Media & Communications, Political Communication, Media ethics, Media and Resistance.
