About
Dr. Samir Sweida-Metwally is a Postdoctoral Associate at New York University Abu Dhabi. He holds a PhD in Advanced Quantitative Methods from the University of Bristol (funded by the UK Economic Social and Research Council), an MSc in Comparative Social Policy from the University of Oxford (funded by the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies), an MSc in Political Theory from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and a BSc (Hons) in Economics from Brunel University. Dr. Sweida-Metwally has also pursued (and continues to pursue) formal education in the traditional Islamic sciences, equipping him with authentic knowledge of Islam rooted in classical Islamic scholarship. He is trilingual in English, Arabic and French. As a quantitative social scientist, Dr. Sweida-Metwally focuses his research on labor markets and workplace dynamics. His work specifically centers on measuring job quality, investigating ethno-religious disparities therein, and exploring barriers to employment access. Dr. Sweida-Metwally also examines Islamophobia in the workplace, studying employer attitudes towards religious accommodation. Additionally, his research addresses workplace bullying, emphasizing how racial factors influence its disclosure and impact on employees. As an interdisciplinary scholar with a background in political theory, Dr. Sweida-Metwally's research is also of a theoretical nature, advancing ideas around the conceptualization of Islamophobia. His research has appeared in Ethnic and Racial Studies, and has been ranked in the top 2% of all research outputs scored by Altmetrics. Dr. Sweida-Metwally has been interviewed on TV about his research, which has also garnered significant attention from international media outlets, including The Guardian in the UK and The National in the UAE. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Sweida-Metwally worked in the private sector in the UK and the UAE. Combined, he has over 10 years of strategic advisory and research experience. This includes advising senior government stakeholders, and offering C-Suite strategic guidance to Dubai-headquartered multinational corporations. Dr. Sweida-Metwally's integration of mainstream education and training in the traditional Islamic sciences, combined with his private sector strategic advisory experience, uniquely positions him to offer valuable insights and cross-cultural competence crucial for expert advisory roles on Islamophobia in the workplace.
