My name is Nasir Almasri. I’m a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Society of Fellows at Boston University. I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT in 2024. I previously served as a Predoctoral Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Middle East Initiative (2022-2024) and as a Graduate Fellow in Palestinian Affairs at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. (2023-2024).

My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics and security studies, and it uniquely engages 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.
