Nasir Almasri

Welcome!

My name is Nasir Almasri. I’m a Mellon Fellow in Peace & Justice Studies at Wellesley College. I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT in 2024 and previously held appointments at Harvard Kennedy School, Boston University, and the Middle East Institute.

My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics and security studies, bridging positivist social science and critical theory. I focus on the Global South and have conducted extensive fieldwork across the Middle East and North Africa. My work has been published in Perspectives on Politics, Contention, and PS: Political Science & Politics.
