Life

Saad-Ghorayeb was an assistant professor of political science at the Lebanese American University until 2008.[2] She received her Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham, England. She was a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center (CMEC).[3]

In 2009, she declined the invitation to speak at the NATO Defense College, because this would have involved talking to Israeli military officers, which is against Lebanese law.[4] [5]

Her articles have appeared in openDemocracy,[6] Foreign Affairs,[7] The Washington Post,[8] and Lebanon's Al Akhbar.[9]

While discussing the 2006 Lebanon War, Noam Chomsky cited her as "the leading Lebanese academic scholar of Hezbollah".[10]

She resides in Lebanon.
