Huda Asiri

  • PhD Student
  • JOURNALISM

Huda Asiri is from the southern region of Saudi Arabia. Her unique position in a doctoral program in the United States fuels her dedication to advancing research on the contributions and representation of Saudi women in both local and international media. The recent strides in women's rights and opportunities in Saudi Arabia, such as the right to drive, a significant increase in employment with women now holding approximately 43% of jobs compared to men, and their ascension to leadership roles, have further intensified her commitment. These advancements are attributed to the reforms introduced under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

During her master's studies at Texas Tech University, Huda was actively involved in significant research projects. She co-authored a book detailing the impact of COVID-19 in the southern plains of the United States. She worked closely with a research team under the guidance of Dr. Beasley, former Chair of the Journalism Department. Additionally, she contributed to research examining the influence of American organizations' campaigns on oil prices. Her master's thesis, focused on the adoption of ChatGPT among Saudis and its alignment with Saudi cultural norms, underscores her interest in how technology intersects with cultural contexts.

Huda goal is to secure a position in academia, where she hopes to inspire and mentor the next generation of Saudi women, encouraging them to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their fields.
