Rawan Alfuraih is an anthropologist, folklorist, oral historian, and former producer, currently pursuing a doctorate in Anthropology at the University of Oxford. She conducted six years of oral history fieldwork in Saudi Arabia, examining how folktale performance was rooted in the daily movement and social life of women and children in Najdi mud architecture during the early twentieth century. Her doctoral project explores urbanization as a disruption of human–environment relations, focusing on its impact on collective memory, folkloric genres, and embodied livelihood skills. With a background in information systems, Rawan designs an archiving methodology for her collection of audio recordings by integrating archival processes throughout her research, aligning with reproducibility in open science and local ethical customs. Rawan is also an aunt to two children and passionate about Arabic and English children’s literature and early exposure to storytelling.
