My name is Nasir Almasri. I’m a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Boston University Society of Fellows. I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT and previously served as a Predoctoral Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Middle East Initiative and as a Graduate Fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C.

My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics, international relations, and security studies. I engage questions about social movements, authoritarianism, organizational dynamics, and regional power competition. I specialize in the politics of the Middle East and North Africa.
