As a Muslim Arab-American, Noor's research interests largely focus on Muslim and Arab college students and their experiences in U.S. post-secondary education. Her interests take on a critical and transformative approach, where critiquing the system is just as important as finding sustainable and equitable solutions to existing issues in higher education. Noor's research aims to advance Muslim and Arab student development, leadership, advocacy, and learning in post-secondary education.
