Biography

Dr. Ray Jureidini is Professor of Migration, Human Rights, and Ethics at CILE and the first-of-its-kind Master of Arts program in Applied Islamic Ethics at CIS. He grew up in Australia, completing his studies in industrial and economic sociology at Flinders University, South Australia. He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1977, majoring in sociology and psychology; First Class Honors in Sociology with a thesis on producer cooperatives; and a PhD thesis on Moral Values in Economic Life: a Case Study of Life Insurance and Superannuation.

In the 1990s, he was Co-founder and Vice-chairman of the Australian Arabic Council, established to counter anti-Arab racism in Australia, as well as Founder and Editor of the Journal of Arabic, Islamic and Middle East Studies. After teaching sociology at five universities in Australia, he spent six years at the American University of Beirut, where he began researching and publishing on human rights abuses of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon. At the American University in Cairo, he became Director of the Center for Migration and Refugee Studies and conducted a number of research projects on migrant and refugee issues. In 2011–2014, he returned to Lebanon at the Institute for Migration Studies at the Lebanese American University. In 2012–2013, he served one year as consultant to the Migrant Worker Welfare Initiative at Qatar Foundation, contributing to the QF Standards for Migrant Worker Welfare for contractors and sub-contractors and completing a report on labor recruitment to Qatar.
