Dawn Chatty is a social anthropologist whose ethnographic interests lie
in the Middle East, particularly with nomadic pastoral tribes and
refugee young people. Her research interests include a number of forced
migration and development issues such as conservation-induced
displacement, tribal resettlement, modern technology and social change,
gender and development and the impact of prolonged conflict on refugee
young people. She is both an academic anthropologist and a practitioner,
having carefully developed her career in universities in the United
States, Lebanon, Syria and Oman, as well as with a number of development
agencies such as the UNDP, UNICEF, FAO and IFAD. After taking her
undergraduate degree with honours at UCLA (University of California at
Los Angeles), she took a Master's degree in Development Studies from the
Institute of Social Studies, the Hague, Netherlands. She returned to
UCLA to take her PhD in Social Anthropology under the late Professor
Hilda Kuper. She has come to Oxford from Oman, where she was Associate
Professor of Anthropology at Sultan Qaboos University.

Following the award of a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship, Dr
Chatty spent the period October 2005 - September 2007 researching and
writing a manuscript on Dispossession and Forced Migration in the Middle
East. The volume is in production at Cambridge University Press and
provisionally titled Dispossession and Displacement in the Modern Middle
East.
