PhD Thesis

 

Title: The philanthropy phenomenon: Institutional private philanthropy in the UAE

PhD Supervisor: Davide Rodogno and Mohamed Mahmoud Mohamedou 

Expected completion date: 2025

My doctoral dissertation situates itself within the field of regional philanthropy, a realm of study exploring how philanthropy operates within diverse regional contexts and its role in addressing various societal challenges. Employing an interdisciplinary methodology, I investigate how cultural, political and market dynamics shape notions and practices of institutional philanthropic giving in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and how these interactions have been modeling the country’s philanthropic sector since the start of the 21st century.
