Diversity, Contestation and Migration in Education

Hania Sobhy

This research project is a comparative study of recent educational transformations in South West Asia and North Africa (SWANA/ the Middle East). In particular, it inquires into teacher narratives in Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia around three key areas: 1) questions of diversity and inequality, 2) teachers’ own collective mobilization and 3) dynamics of migrant education. The fieldwork for this project is planned for 2023 and 2024 with affiliations at IRMC in Tunis, OIB in Beirut and CEDEJ in Cairo.
