About the Speaker:
Dr. Haneen Shibli is a Fulbright researcher at the University of Washington, holds a PhD. in Public Health. Her research focuses on healthcare accessibility, resilience and quality of life related to health among the Muslim Arab minority in Israel, with a particular emphasis on the most disadvantaged group, the Arab Bedouin women. Her research centers on social, cultural and gender issues through the lens of intersectionality and the framework of social determinants of health.

In addition to her work in Israel, Dr. Shibli conducts research on community resilience and mental health among displaced Muslim communities in the US.

Her passion for public health drives her interest in addressing health inequalities and shaping policies to reduce disparities among marginalized populations, bringing a unique perspective as both an insider and outsider in her research.
