Dr. Savas' research focuses on the study of social inequality, with a particular emphasis on the intersections of gender, education, and social class in shaping life outcomes. His work investigates critical issues, such as the barriers women face in specific industries, the influence of social norms on attitudes toward gender roles, and the challenges experienced by immigrants and their children. His research approach combines quantitative analysis of large-scale datasets with qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, to capture the complexity of social experiences. Currently, Dr. Savas leads several research projects. One project examines women's participation in heavy industries in the UAE, analyzing the structural factors that either support or constrain their opportunities. Another project explores gender norms and attitudes in the Arab region, utilizing data from extensive regional surveys. Additionally, he is planning a study on gender inequality in higher education leadership, aiming to identify strategies for promoting more equitable practices within academic institutions.
