Her research explores themes of political legitimacy, terrorism, mass rebellion, and gender roles in conflict contexts. She has authored or co-authored four books and contributed to edited volumes such as Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities. Her work often combines theoretical frameworks with empirical case studies, particularly in the Middle East.
Selected publications highlight her interdisciplinary approach: analyzing cultural heritage protection during war (2023), gender dynamics in military systems (2021), women's roles in MENA societies (2010), and the interplay between democracy and terrorism (2006). Her early work on the Intifadas (2004) remains a foundational text in conflict studies.
