Dr. Bethany Shockley

Assistant Professor
PhD, Texas A&M University, United States

I am a social scientist who investigates issues of governance, identity and decision-making. Currently, I teach political science and research methods at the American University in Sharjah, UAE. Previously, my work at SESRI (The Social and Economic Survey Research Institute) focused on designing surveys and analyzing survey data both for academic research and external clients.
