Key research themes include British colonialism in Palestine, the Great Revolt (1936-39), and contemporary Middle Eastern social movements. Publications analyze topics like counterinsurgency, racialization, and state formation through historical and sociopolitical lenses.

Recent work examines the Arab Spring youth dynamics and the British Mandate's impact on Palestinian land and society. While no explicit awards are listed, his scholarship contributes to critical understandings of colonial legacies and modern resistance movements.
