Rafeef’s research centers on the production of interdisciplinary scholarship that falls into three thematic areas: infrastructures and logistics, gender and feminism, race and racialisation. Her recent research is broadly concerned with the political economy of maritime infrastructures and logistics, with a particular focus on the Middle East and East Africa.

She is currently examining the impact of Gulf Cooperation Council military and commercial interventions following the 2011 Arab uprisings.
