Chihab El Khachab(Is this your profile?)

I am an academic and writer working on Egyptian cinema, popular culture, humour, technology, and bureaucracy. Born in Cairo and raised in Montreal, I went on to get a DPhil in Anthropology from the University of Oxford. Between 2016 and 2020, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow in Anthropology in Christ Church, Oxford. In 2020-2021, I was a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (FAMES), Cambridge. I am now Associate Professor in Visual Anthropology and a Fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Oxford.

My first book, Making Film in Egypt, has been published...
