Amal Saad-Ghorayeb

Life

Saad-Ghorayeb was an assistant professor of political science at the Lebanese American University until 2008. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham, England. She was a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center (CMEC). While discussing the 2006 Lebanon War, Noam Chomsky cited her as "the leading Lebanese academic scholar of Hezbollah". In 2009, she declined an invitation to speak at the NATO Defense College, because this would have involved talking to Israeli military officers, which is against Lebanese law.

Her articles have appeared in openDemocracy, Foreign Affairs, The Washington Post, and Lebanon's Al Akhbar.

Her father, Abdo Saad, is a Shiite pollster; her mother is Christian.
