Bayan Kayyali
Doha Debates Ambassador 2024
Bayan Kayyali is an undergraduate student at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Qatar, majoring in international politics and minoring in history. Bayan has a keen interest in the history, political development and prospects of the Middle East and North Africa region. She is critical of political, legal and media-production frameworks that have been weaponized against this region, which she touched on during her participation in the Doha Debates town hall “Orientalism Demystified: Eastern insights on Western myths.” However, she remains optimistic that increased youth engagement within these spheres can bring about transformative change.
