Zaina Ujayli

I am an MA student at the University of Virginia studying English. I'm interested in nineteenth and twentieth century literature about and by Arab and Arab Americans. I'm interested in transatlantic and diaspora literature more generally, and am conscious of the feminist and ecocritical lens necessary for scholarship on those subjects.  My interest in the digital humanities stems from my desire to explore how to capture complex political nuances in an easily accessible digital form which can be understood by not only political professionals and academics, but everyday consumers of the news. ​​
