Morgan Hanna Ghattas

Morgan is a Fontaine Fellow studying race, religion, and immigration of MENA individuals in the US in the Sociology program. Her interests broadly relate to the experiences of MENA communities and the interaction between race and religion in how MENA subjects are perceived and situated within society. Her work specifically focuses on the Coptic Orthodox communities in the US and how such a group forms notions of identity and belonging while sitting at the intersection of competing ideas of race and whiteness. 

Before coming to Penn, Morgan received her BA from Yale University in Political Science and Modern Middle East Studies
