Dr. Heba Arafa Abdelfattah graduated from Georgetown University in the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies in 2017. Her research interests fall within the interdisciplinary area of humanities focusing on the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of art as articulated in Arabic and Islamic thought in all its expressions(from the 7th to the 21st centuries).

Her articles appeared in such peer-reviewed journals as Religions, Review of Middle East Studies, International Journal of Communication, and the Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies (JIMS).
