Introduction

I joined Zayed University in January 2020.  I have over 18 years’ experience working in higher level education. I have previously been employed as an Assistant Professor with the General Studies division at the Higher Colleges of Technology in Madinat Zayed campus, Abu Dhabi.  I have worked in both the History and Adult and Community Education Departments at Maynooth University in Ireland.  For eight years, I was involved with the Education to Prisons Services in Dublin, Ireland.

I hold a PhD in History and a PG Diploma (Level 9) in Adult and Community Education. My doctoral thesis examined the socio-cultural construction of masculinities through an examination of the changing nature of masculinities within the larger context of social, political, economic and religious events in early twentieth century Ireland.
