Nader Osama

Nader OSAMA I received my MSc in Sociology (Contemporary Social Thought) in 2016 from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and a BA in Economics, with a minor in Anthropology, from the American University in Cairo (AUC) in 2015. I am interested in critical social and political thought, as well as political and historical sociology, with a regional focus on Egypt and the Middle East. For my MSc dissertation, I studied the social and political theories of transparency and secrecy through an engagement with the recent history of Egypt’s political economy, asking how secrecy is produced as a public effect and the limitations of neoliberal models of governance. This is part of a general interest in theories of expertise and neoliberal governmentality. I am also interested in questions around human rights, violence and social justice.
