SAMER  ANABTAWI

ABSTRACT
This project seeks to examine the strategies of organizing and discursive frameworks adopted by marginalized groups and gender minorities in Arab societies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the project will examine variation in the claims and identities articulated by these groups and the public’s attitudes toward these claims. In addition to public opinion surveys, the project will build on extensive fieldwork as well as survey experimental research designs.
