Doha, Qatar - Seven distinguished scholars from prestigious institutions will join the Institute for Advanced Study in the Global South at Northwestern University in Qatar for the 2026-27 academic year, bolstering the university's position as a leading research hub for the Global South.
Jowel Choufani, Aya Labanieh, and Osman Osman will assume roles as Global Postdoctoral Scholars, while Larissa Buchholz, Geraldo Campos, Özge Calafato, and Teddy Workneh will serve as Global Fellows.
The Institute's Global Fellowship and Global Postdoctoral Scholars programs are key initiatives in fostering a diverse, interdisciplinary research community focused on the Global South. Global Postdoctoral Scholars receive long-term appointments to pursue historically grounded, theoretically informed research and media projects. In contrast, Global Fellows benefit from shorter residencies, focusing on developing ongoing projects while engaging with the broader intellectual community at Northwestern Qatar.
In a statement, Marwan M. Kraidy, dean and CEO of Northwestern University in Qatar, emphasized the importance of universities generating and expanding the types of knowledge relevant to the Global South. Kraidy highlighted the commitment to bringing together scholars who challenge conventional thinking, advance interdisciplinary research, and broaden global understanding.
