Hadeel Abdelhameed

Hadeel Abdelhameed is an Adjunct Professor at Monash University's Faculty of Education, with affiliations to the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice-President, and the Office of the VC & President. She also collaborates with the University of Kufa in academic research. Her work focuses on gender studies, conflict zones, Iraqi theatre, and neoliberal policy analysis. Dr. Abdelhameed's research explores intersections between cultural expression, political dynamics, and social movements in Middle Eastern contexts, particularly Iraq's post-conflict society.

Her recent publications (2019–2025) examine topics ranging from securitization in conflict zones through comparative studies of Iraq and Afghanistan, to the role of Iraqi women in protests and elections. She investigates how theatre and art serve as vehicles for resistance and identity formation among marginalized groups. A 2022 project highlights her engagement with contemporary Iraqi political processes and gender dynamics.

Abdelhameed's work demonstrates a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, blending sociology, political theory, and cultural studies to analyze complex sociopolitical phenomena. Her collaborations span academic institutions across Australia and Iraq, reflecting her transnational research focus.
