Welcome to my world! I’m Paula El Khoury, a passionate Research Associate at the Centre d’Analyse et d’Intervention Sociologiques (CADIS, CNRS) in Paris. With a deep love for sociology and journalism, I’ve spent over two decades exploring and addressing vital issues related to gender and social change in the Arab region.
Living between the vibrant cities of Beirut and Paris, my journey has been one of continuous learning and sharing. I’ve had the privilege of working on topics close to my heart, such as Women Entrepreneurship, Arab Youth, Digital Media, and Corporate Social Responsibility. These experiences have shaped my perspective and fueled my commitment to making a positive impact.
My Story
From my early days as a journalist in Beirut, where I wrote columns and critiqued art and literature, to my role as a Research Associate at EHESS in Paris, my career has been a tapestry of diverse experiences. I’ve facilitated interviews with Arab immigrant families, managed environmental projects, and delved into the intricate lives of women entrepreneurs in post-war Lebanon.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is the ability to blend research with real-world applications. Whether it’s translating and adapting documents for better understanding or leading corporate social responsibility initiatives, I strive to bridge gaps and foster meaningful connections.
What Drives Me
My research is driven by a desire to understand and amplify the voices of those often overlooked. Through my articles and publications, I aim to shed light on social issues and inspire change. I believe in the power of storytelling and its ability to challenge stereotypes and open minds.
Let’s Connect
When I’m not immersed in research or writing, you’ll find me participating in community projects, engaging in sociological discussions, and enjoying the cultural richness of Beirut and Paris. I’m also a proud member of the Lebanese Press Syndicate and the Association Française de Sociologie, where I continue to learn and contribute to the fields of sociology and journalism.
Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to connecting with you and sharing more about my work and passions.
Warm regards,
Paula El Khoury
