Sawsene Nejjar's work focuses on unlocking the historical data of the MENA region, and providing access to maps, censuses and statistical handbooks. By making these resources available and accessible, her efforts aim to enrich historical research and enhance understanding of the region's past. This initiative is part of a collaborative work with The Arab Public Data Initiative at the Arab Council in the Social Sciences (ACSS). The produced historical shapefiles are accessible on the ACSS Dataverse and the Harvard Dataverse, with detailed background information available in an OSF preprint.
