Professionalization Q&A with Poli Sci Ph.D. Rana Khoury

Monday, February 23, 2026 | 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM CT
Scott Hall, Scott Hall 201, 601 University Place, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

Join Rana Khoury, Department of Political Science Alumna and Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, to discuss the academic market, publishing with a university press, conducting fieldwork in MENA, doing qualitative research in mainstream political science. Khoury recently published a book, Civilizing Contention, where she traces the afterlife of a social movement in the depths of a brutal war. Khoury shows how international humanitarians who come to help—and who rely on civil actors to do so—reshape activism itself. Coffee, tea, and pastries will be served.
