Sara Salem

Sara Salem is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University, in the Netherlands. She is working on the 2011 Egyptian revolution from the perspective of critical political economy, and uses Marxism as a lens through which to understand the shifts happening across the Middle East and Africa today. She is half Egyptian and half Dutch. She grew up in Zambia, a place she still considers home. Her hobbies include postcolonialism, feminism, Marxism, and other conspiracies, and when she isn’t reading you can find her either baking or enjoying a coffee.
