David Mednicoff (public policy), acting director of the Social Thought and Political Economy program, is among the experts whose research appears in Migrant Labor in the Gulf Summary Report, recently released by the Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) at Georgetown University.
Mednicoff is currently a member of the Migrant Labor in the Gulf working group, which has spent the last two years meeting in Doha, Qatar to discuss the group’s research concerning the role of foreign workers in the political economy of the Arabian Peninsula.
Contributors to the working group represent a range of academic disciplines. Mednicoff, who has both a law degree and a doctorate in political science from Harvard University, is also the recipient of a multi-year grant from CIRS to study the effects of legal regulations on migrant workers in Doha and Dubai.
