Mohamed Kamel Doraï is a researcher at the CNRS (the French National
Centre for Scientific Research) currently based at the French Institute
for the Near East in Damascus (IFPO) and visiting researcher at
MIGRINTER, University of Poitiers (France).
His work focuses mainly on asylum and refugees in the Middle East,
new migrations and geopolitical reorganisation in the Middle East,
and migration and transnational practices within the Palestinian
Diaspora. Dr Doraï is currently conducting research on the Iraqis
in Syria as well as on the urbanization process of Palestinian refugee
camps in Lebanon. The comparative study between refugees residing
in and out of camps as well as the analysis of their migratory experience
and spatial practices provide an account of the refugees' socio-spatial
dynamics in exile and of relations between the camp and their urban
environment.
