Inclusive, multi-cultural, and globally-focused education is at the core of my teaching philosophy and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I strive to build a community of learners and a classroom environment that nurtures rich dialogue and strengthens points of connection across difference. I utilize multiple strategies and approaches including case studies, debate, reflective essays, small group discussions and problem-based teaching to root learning in current and historical \u201creal-world\u201d challenges. In all of my classes, I explain how each assignment enhances our understanding and potential solution of a real-life situation or problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My ongoing transformation as a teacher is a function of reflecting on my teaching praxis and my commitment to the most effective forms of knowledge transfer, through implementing creative critical pedagogies. As an instructor, I engage my students and encourage them to develop and refine their critical and creative thinking abilities. I have made a lifelong commitment to transformative teaching and learning. I was honored, humbled, and grateful to be selected as the recipient of the 2018 Distinguished Teaching Award at the University of Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent Courses Taught<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS 374 Middle East Politics&nbsp;<br>BIS 312 Approaches to Social Research&nbsp;<br>BIS 490 Race, Ethnicity and Politics&nbsp;<br>BIS 490 Islam and Muslims in Western Contexts&nbsp;<br>BIS 490 Politics of the Arab \u2018Spring\u2019&nbsp;<br>BPOLST 598 US Foreign Policy in the Middle East&nbsp;<br>BIS 499 Portfolio Capstone&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research\/Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My scholarship explores the evolution of transnational political identities and their impact on civic engagement and political participation. As an interdisciplinary social scientist, I examine social and historical contexts related to religion, identity, and politics to provide answers to persisting social science questions. The overarching theme of my scholarly journey is centered on how ethno-, sociopolitical, and religious identities are formed, and how they evolve and transform under different socio-economic and political conditions. I have particular interests in the study of Palestine, and the study of Muslim Americans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My book, <a href=\"https:\/\/cup.columbia.edu\/book\/to-stand-with-palestine\/9780231186179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>To Stand with Palestine: Transnational Resistance and Political Evolution in the United States<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>(Columbia University Press), explores the evolving perceptions of Palestine and Palestinians within US society and politics. The book argues that the increasingly noticeable support for the Palestinian cause and the surge in solidarity in the US can be attributed, in part, to significant societal and political changes that have occurred since the late 1990s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the founding Director of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/amri\">The American Muslim Research Institute (AMRI)<\/a>, and the co-Principal Investigator of The Muslim American Public Opinion Survey&nbsp;(MAPOS), which remains one of the largest surveys of Muslims in the US, a decade on. I served as the senior co-director of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cmpsurvey.org\/2020-oversample-directors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Muslim American Oversample<\/a>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cmpsurvey.org\/2020-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey<\/a>. I have also led&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/mepop\">The Middle East Public Opinion Project (MEPOP)<\/a>&nbsp;and directed more than a dozen public opinion surveys in the Arab world, including \u201cThe 2013 Palestinian Public Opinion Survey,\u201d which explores Palestinian opinions and attitudes on various socio-economic conditions and political issues 20 years after the signing of the Oslo Accords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am honored that my scholarship has been recognized over its impact. UW Board of Regents approved my appointment to become the first holder of the first named-professorship to ever be established at UW Bothell,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/april-2021\/groundbreaking-professorship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Alyson McGregor Distinguished Professorship of Excellence and Transformative Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been able to secure funds to pursue my research around the world from various foundations and research funding agencies including the Carnegie Corporation, the Social Science Research Council, and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to my duties at UW Bothell, I am an adjunct professor in the Departments of Political Science and Sociology at UW Seattle, and a core faculty in the Interdisciplinary Near and Middle Eastern Studies Ph.D. Program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Former Academic Appointments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Fellow,<\/strong>&nbsp;Dubai Initiative, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, 2010-2012.<br><strong>Associate,&nbsp;<\/strong>Center for American Political Studies, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, 2011-2012.<br><strong>Fellow,<\/strong>&nbsp;Committee on Social Studies, Harvard University, 2011-2012.<br><strong>Visiting Professor<\/strong>, Department of History &amp; The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, 2010-2011.<br><strong>Post-Doctoral Fellow<\/strong>, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Islam in the West Program, Harvard University, 2009-2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selected Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dana, Karam<\/strong>. 2025. <em>To Stand with Palestine\u202f: Transnational Resistance and Political Evolution in the United States<\/em>.
