Samer Shehata lectured last fall at the Naval Academy, Yale University, DePaul University and Harvard University. Last winter, he traveled to Doha, Qatar to support the Arabic Language Scholarship Program at Qatar University, and then returned to Georgetown in the spring to teach a new graduate seminar on the timely topic of “Political ‘Reform’ in the Arab World.” Dr. Shehata participated in a panel at George Washington University entitled “Constitutionalism and Political Reform in Egypt,” as well as “Studying the Politics of Labor: Qualitative and Interpretive Approaches” at the Western Political Science Association’s annual
meeting which took place in Oakland, California, in March. He also completed a chapter about ethnography in Interpretation and Method: Empirical Research Methods and the Interpretive Turn, which will be released in 2005, and published an article entitled “Losing Hearts and Minds: Understanding America’s Failure in Iraq,” in the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs (Winter/Spring 2005). Other recent publications include “Egypt’s Opposition Parties: A Fleeting Moment of Opportunity?” in the Carnegie Endowment’s Arab Reform Bulletin (October 2005) and an editorial in al-Hayat in November 2004. Dr. Shehata will be on sabbatical in Egypt for the entire 2005-2006 academic year to research political reform in Egypt and the Arab world.
