Associate Professor at The University of Toledo
Asma M. Abdel Halim is an associate professor with The University of Toledo, Department of Women's and Gender Studies. She graduated from the faculty of Law, University of Khartoum with an LL.B. Honors in Common Law and Shari’a, Islamic Law, where she also earned a Master in commercial law. She earned a Master in International Affairs, African Studies and a Ph.D. in Education from Ohio University. Asma taught at several universities and has been a human rights activist for the past 40 years. Her research is generally on Muslim women’s rights in Africa and other parts of the world, with a focus on feminism, women’s issues, legal, constitutional rights and human rights issues under socio-cultural and religious mandates and other related issues. Her current research project is researching Sudanese laws from a feminist perspective. She follows the evolution of law in the country especially laws that directly affect women’s rights such as Personal Status Laws (Ahwal Shakhsiyya) and Criminal law. She authored and translated books and published articles in books and periodicals, as well as attended and presented at many domestic and international conferences that address her research interests. Asma’s research is focused now on the huge changes in Sudanese laws and politics after the downfall of the military dictatorship in the country.

Professor at MIT
Professor Eltahir's research group is interested in understanding how regional land use/land cover change as well as global climate change may impact society through changes in the patterns of water availability, extreme weather, and spread of vector-borne diseases. We develop sophisticated numerical models (MIT Regional Climate Model (MRCM); and the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS)) that are used for predicting such impacts at regional scales. We test these models against satellite observations and archived data sets of hydrologic and atmospheric variables, as well as data collected in our own field campaigns. Current research in the Eltahir group focuses on three general areas: 1) Regional climate studies, 2) Water and Disease, and 3) Water Resource Management.

Professor at College of Marin
A mosaic of interrelated stories exploding with personality, myth, and geohistorical weight, Morning in Serra Mattu: A Nubian Ode ($23.00), is a profound, joyful meditation on life in modern Sudan. Arif Gamal seamlessly blends large-scale political realities with the local and the traditional: “old villages/whose ancient way is so composed/each single blade of grass is known/and in its place.” Epic in scope, spellbinding in its intimacy, generosity, and wisdom, this work is the book we didn’t know we needed. The son of a career diplomat, Arif Gamal was born in 1949 and raised in Khartoum, Sudan. He left Sudan for France in 1975 to attend graduate school, returning after receiving his doctorate in Environmental Science from the University des Science et Technique Lanquedocienne, in Montpellier. Following the 1989 military coup d’état in Sudan—and with his family under constant government surveillance—Gamal received an invitation to be a Senior Fulbright Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, which he accepted. In addition to UC Berkeley, he has taught at the University of San Francisco and College of Marin.

Associate Professor at University of Michigan
Mai Hassan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science. Her research focuses on authoritarian and hybrid regimes, the state, land and violence, and ethnic politics with a regional focus on sub-Saharan Africa. Her current book project explores how authoritarian leaders vary management of the state sub-nationally to best meet electoral challenges to their rule after the introduction of multi-party elections. It does this through an in-depth look at Kenya's democratization process since the beginning of multi-party elections in 1992. The manuscript shows how international pressure to reform state institutions (often times through calls to decentralize power and engage in public sector reform) can actually hamper democratization.

Scholarship Program, the first federally-funded school-voucher program in the United States; and the impact of school choice on academic performance in public schools. Professor Eissa is a recipient of the National Tax Association’s Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Government Finance and Taxation (1995). She is also a member of the National Academy of Social Insurance.

Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr
Nisrin Elamin (she/her/hers) received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Stanford University in 2019 and her B.A. in sociopolitical development studies from Harvard University in 2000. Her work explores the relationship between land, belonging, migration and geopolitics in postsecession Sudan and the broader Sahel region. Her current project examines the ways landless and landholding communities are negotiating and contesting changes in land ownership prompted by a recent wave of Gulf Arab corporate investments in Sudanese land. It situates contemporary, state-driven ‘land grabs’ in the agricultural Gezira region of central Sudan, within a layered history of enclosures and unequal landed relations shaped by legacies of enslavement and colonial rule. Methodologically, it combines a multi-sited ethnographic study of land dispossession in rural and peri-urban communities with a historical analysis of the ways the Gezira has been imagined as the answer to various colonial and post-colonial development visions. Her research has received support from the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council and the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Nisrin’s writing on current affairs in Sudan and the broader Sahel region, has appeared in Al Jazeera, the "Monkey Cage" blog of the Washington Post, OkayAfrica, and the Egypt Independent. Prior to pursuing an academic career, Nisrin worked for more than 13 years as an educator, organizer, and advocate for various community-based organizations, schools and international agencies in the U.S., Chile, Brazil, and Tanzania. Before joining Bryn Mawr College, she spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Society of Fellows, Columbia University, in New York City. She will be teaching Introduction to International Politics in the fall and Popular Uprisings in Global Perspective in the Spring.
