Cyrine Saab is a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Lebanese Studies. She recently completed her PhD at the UCL Institute of Education in London. Her work examines informal work and learning in everyday life among refugee children and youth in the city of Beirut. Drawing on interdisciplinary studies and longitudinal ethnographic research, she explores how young people negotiate precarity, develop expertise, and carve out possibilities for better futures amid conditions of forced displacement and urban informality. Cyrine is also involved in research on forced migration across the broader SWANA region, including studies on the political economy of knowledge production in refugee education research, the localisation of aid, and pathways to employment for refugee youth. Alongside her research contributions, Cyrine is involved in building research networks. She co-founded the CLS Knowledge Collective, through which she organises activities and training workshops for early-career researchers in Lebanon and the UK. She also contributes to action research and dissemination initiatives that aim to strengthen knowledge exchange between scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and refugee communities.
