Dr. Mohammad Al-Jararwah is a Senior Researcher and Policy Adviser at the Australian Government | Department of Education. Prior to his doctoral studies, he was Defence and Political Adviser at the United Arab Emirates – Military Attaché Office in Canberra, Australia. Over the duration of his doctoral dissertation, he had a number of strategic advisory roles related to Arab-West inter-governmental and inter-ambassadorial relations, as well as foreign policy, and was privileged to chair the Vienna Academic International Conference in April 2018 as part of a European tour, where he presented his dissertation.

Born in 1985 in the northern region of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Dr. Al-Jararwah voyaged to Australia at the age of 23, becoming an Australian citizen. His admiration of German philosopher and sociologist, Jürgen Habermas led him to became a habermasian expert, utilising the scholarship of Habermas in providing an intensive historical, philosophical and political analysis of recent major events in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with an application to international relations and diplomacy. He identified forms of diplomatic training that might be more informed and constructive to personnel working in and around the MENA region in understanding and responding to its many, often intransigent political and military issues. A passionate and detail-oriented international relations and governance expert, he conducted various complex educational and political projects, utilising a holistic, contemporary and critical Habermasian approach, representing a unique blend of sophisticated political analysis, together with informed practical application concerned with strategic Western international relations and diplomacy. A large part of his success while working in education and with Australian and foreign governments stems from his critical and analytical abilities to cultivate an intuitive understanding of their political platforms, foreign policies, and spearhead the project from there. In his Ph.D. Dissertation, Dr. Al-Jararwah conducted a world-class research on Arab-West inter-governmental and inter-ambassadorial relations, aiming at strengthening Western diplomatic training, as well as contemporary foreign policies. He has political publications on various global networks and journals. Additionally, he has given briefings and analysis on current international affairs to various foreign embassies in Canberra, Australia. Dr. Al-Jararwah is also a former Lecturer at Open Colleges, Australia.
