Donia Kamel

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the Paris School of Economics, supervised by Hillel Rapoport, with Marco Tabellini and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya on my thesis committee. 

In Fall 2026, I will join the Brown University Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. 

My primary research interests are in migration, economic history, political economy, and discrimination. 

My broader research agenda examines identity and diaspora politics, with a focus on the Arab diaspora in the Americas.
