Sarah Halabe

Sarah Halabe (she/her/hers) is a PhD Candidate in Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley, where she studies the US Third World Left with a focus on on student activism, internationalism, and the influence of Third World Marxisms in the long Sixties. Her dissertation project bridges Arab American Studies and Asian American Studies to explore the formation and strategies of anti-imperialist organizations as they developed their praxis alongside national liberation struggles occurring throughout the Third World. This project aims to re-imagine what social movement archives can look like, and foreground the roles of queer, feminist, disabled, working-class, and otherwise marginalized activists. Sarah’s research has been supported by the UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Fellowship, Asian American Research Center, and Palestinian & Arab Studies Program. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Amerasia and Journal of Asian American Studies. Sarah was born and raised in the Bay Area and received her BA from Scripps College.
