Dr Sara Roy

When writing about her journey as a child of Holocaust survivors, Sara Roy reflected that: “the journey continues and shall continue until the day I die...The Holocaust has been the defining feature of my life. It could not have been otherwise. I lost over 100 members of my family and extended family in the Nazi ghettos and death camps in Poland--grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, a sibling not yet born...” More...

Dr. Sara Roy is now a senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University where she completed her doctoral studies in international development.  Trained as a political economist, she has worked in the Gaza Strip and West Bank since 1985 conducting research primarily on the economic, social and political development of the Gaza Strip and on U.S. foreign aid to the region.

Her current research examines the social and economic sectors of the Palestinian Islamic movement and their relationship to Islamic political institutions, and the critical changes to the Islamic movement over the last decade. With over 100 publications dealing with Palestinian issues and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Dr. Roy’s most recent book is
Failing Peace: Gaza and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict (2007).

Dr. Roy also serves on the Advisory Boards of the American Near East Relief Agency, the Center for American and Jewish Studies at Baylor University and sits on the Board of Directors of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program (U.S. branch).
