Maya Alkateb-Chami is a doctoral candidate at Harvard University working at the intersection of educational linguistics, philosophy of education, and comparative education. Specifically, her research looks at literacy provision as a political matter, while centering questions around multilingualism, cultural diversity, and epistemic injustice. Prior to doctoral studies, Alkateb-Chami had a career in nonprofit management spanning the areas of human rights, refugee education, and culture and the arts. Most recently, she was Managing Director of Columbia Law School’s Human Rights Institute, where she supported and co-led a team of lawyers working to advance human rights through research, education, and advocacy. Returning to a focus on education and research, Alkateb-Chami has designed training programs on linguistic rights and the right to education for Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights, served as an Editor of the Harvard Educational Review, and taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education as a Teaching Fellow and Instructor in Education.
