Amir Nassar earned his BA in English Literature and Political Science and later completed an MA in English Literature from Tel Aviv University. His dissertation focuses on the narratives of Palestinian return memoirs, analyzing the written accounts of figures like Edward Said, Mourid Barghouti, and Fawaz Turki as they returned to their homeland after enduring decades-long exile.

Amir possesses a diverse range of intellectual interests, spanning literature, anthropology, philosophy, post-modernism, and a specific focus on personal essays, memoirs, and life writing. He co-authored the article "The Fences of the Israeli University and the Palestinian Intellectual," featured in Inside the Leviathan: Palestinian Experiences in Israeli Universities (Van Leer, 2022). This collaborative work sheds light on the challenges faced by Palestinian intellectuals in Israeli academic settings.
