Doctoral Student Tooma Zaghloul Named Humanities Research Institute Interseminars Fellow
The theme of the 2024-2025 Interseminars is Collisions across Color Lines. Tooma will bring his own histories of Palestinian displacements as well as years of advocacy work and research with refugees and refugee-like persons to the Interseminars series.
“This is a great opportunity to advance my research and collaborate with other scholars leading social justice efforts in the United States and beyond. Through the Interseminars fellowship, I hope to examine how the individual and collective markers of identity intersect with global citizenship practices and explore alternative methodological approaches to interrogate the multifaceted, urbanizing nature of the refugee experience.”
Tooma’s co-advisors are Faranak Miraftab and Andrew Greenlee.
As an HRI Interseminars Graduate Fellow, Tooma will receive a full academic year of funding, along with two summer stipends, and additional financial support for his personal research activities. He will participate in Interseminars courses with other fellows, intensive workshops, and public events, sharing his scholarship and building interdisciplinary perspective.
