'Brothers' or Others
Propriety and Gender for Muslim Arab Sudanese in Egypt

Muslim Arab Sudanese in Cairo have played a fundamental role in Egyptian history and society during many centuries of close relations between Egypt and Sudan. Although the government and official press describes them as 'brothers' in a united Nile Valley, recent political developments in Egypt have underscored the precarious legal status of Sudanes

In addition to conducting research together with Sudanese individuals and families in Cairo and elsewhere in the Sudanese diaspora, she explores and livelihood and identity strategies for urban forced migrants, refugee transnationalism, and refugee narratives and the state. She is Associate Professor at Clark UniversityA's Department of International Development, Community and Environment, where she coordinates the graduate program in International Development and Social Change.
