La professeure Abu-Zahra a publié des articles sur de nombreux sujets, dont la justice de genre en contexte colonial et conflictuel et les conséquences de l’(im)mobilité géographique sur l’éducation et la santé. Elle s’intéresse depuis longtemps à la pédagogie et travaille de près avec les services universitaires et les groupes de recherche sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage actif, expérientiel et engagé auprès de la communauté.

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Stanford University. My research lies at the intersections of comparative political economy, development, and gender, with a focus in South Asia. I am motivated by questions such as: What are the political consequences of development and development policies, particularly for women’s political behavior? How are minorities, specifically women, democratically represented and where do inequalities in political engagement persist and how are voter demands translated into policy and governance? In answering these questions, I utilize mixed methods, including field experiments, primary surveys, and in-depth qualitative fieldwork to identify empirical relationships as well as the underlying causal mechanisms. I received a Ph.D. in Government at Harvard University in 2017 and a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Texas A&M University in 2011.
