I am a DPhil student in Political Theory at Brasenose College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. I study Yiddish political thought and its history.

Arwa Mokdad is a Middle East analyst with expertise in geopolitics, development, and public policy. Currently, she is a DPhil candidate researching conflict mediation within Yemen at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Stathis Kalyvas. Her work focuses on local, regional, and international peace-building efforts within Yemen. By emphasising both the security interests of regional actors and the local buy-in necessary for sustainable peace, her research brings peace and security studies within dialogue.
