Overview
Before joining Cornell’s PhD program, Jeremy studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po), where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Humanities with a minor in sociology. His undergraduate coursework concentrated on the history and geopolitics of the Arab world, and he pursued his interest in Islamic doctrines and North African cultures during an exchange year at Cornell. His research projects at that time ranged from Islamic fundamentalism in the 1990s United-States, to racial and gender issues in the colonized Maghreb.
His current research interests consist of Islamic studies, Arabic philology, the history of European colonization, and the social, historical and psychological anthropology of colonized North Africa.
