I particularly focused on the struggle of women trying to make balance between the work and family, their attempts to make one selves better, or their practices to create the ideal family sometimes with some help of medical services or local beliefs. I have already talked those in my previous publications, but I intend to continue working on those subjects. 　I have given special importance on analyzing data that are collected through sharing everyday lives in the context of everyday-life circumstances. In order to do that, I have been publishing my articles in literature review and ethnography in two separate forms so that I can write about their life away from the conventional frameworks. In literature review, I have focused on tracing the issues and difficulties researcher faced in discussing women’s lives in the Middle East and means that they deploy to overcome such difficulties. I keep large interest in feminism theory as some works challenges to re-read the various issues from everyday-life women’s logics. In writing ethnography, I have focused on writing about people’s lives through accumulation of everyday life knowledge away from the frameworks proposed in the previous studies. It has been only possible through intense participant observation that I kept conducting since 1998 in Egypt, and annual visits to Lebanon since 2015. Not only that I argue based on the field data, but I argue the topic of people’s interest in the field. 　For instance, school education and reproductive technologies are two well discussed topics for women living in the urban settings of Egypt and Lebanon. In the society where marriage and baring kids are considered two most important tasks for women, having child has enjoyed big attention of women. School education is also a topic talked about much among women in the fields. The Middle East observed a massive arrival of private schooling culture in last two decades. Schools that children go are now considered to be the markers of their social status as well as the means to hold onto the particular social positions. The reasons for forming a discussion from the field data are, I give the biggest importance on writing and discussing people’s lives in their everyday-life context. Only through that, I believe that we can reach people’s happiness and pain in a meaningful ways.   ■Research keywords Gender in the Middle East, Ethnography, School Education, Female labor participation, Study of Interaction, Egypt, Lebanon    ■Research activities   (Even top three results are displayed.
