I am a freelance journalist specialising in Palestine/Israel. I also write on the broader Middle East, the 'war on terror', Islam, Christianity, and British politics.

I have spent four summers in Palestine/Israel (2003-06) volunteering in the West Bank with different local community organisations, as well as working as a freelance journalist. My articles have appeared in Middle East International, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, New Statesman, Electronic Intifada, Palestine Chronicle, Palestine-Israel Journal and many others. My poetry has also been featured in Agenda's Broadsheets (No.7).

I graduated from Cambridge University with a BA in English Literature in 2005. My final year dissertation was a comparative study of the representation of dispossession in the contemporary literature of Palestinians and Native Americans.

I have delivered lectures on the subject of Palestine in King's College, Cambridge; Churchill College, Cambridge (Phoenix Society); Nottingham University; All Nation's College (UK); and various churches and community centres in the UK and US.
