Political Behavior and Attitudes: I conduct survey experiments on attitudes toward social norm violations in environments where collective values dominate. The main focus is on the individual’s capacity to overcome group pressure in different authority structures in Muslim society. 2. Institutions: I examine how traditional, autocratic institutions use modern concepts and institutions to invigorate and re-legitimate authoritarian politics. The main focus of my research is the Moroccan monarchy’s strategies of political control and cooptation. 3. Political Identity: I investigate liberalism’s cultural gaps when it travels to the Middle East. I uncover the tensions between the liberal notion of citizenship and its cultural assumptions. The main focus of my research has been colonial liberalism and its advocates in Inter-War Egypt.
