Yasmin Alrabiei is an Iraqi writer and researcher based in London. Her writing has been published in books including the Hajar Book of Rage by Hajar Press and in articles in Atmos, WePresent, ICON, GQ, Dazed MENA, Rolling Stone MENA and more. 

​

Drawing on her academic background in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, she explores the precursors and early systems of knowledge that underpin scientific reasoning, examining those that have been marginalised, and traces how knowledge from erased, colonised, or persecuted communities continues to shape our understanding of the world. 

 

She is drawn to stories of myth, ritual, and ancestral cosmologies. In preserving erased scientific contributions and engaging alternative ways of understanding consciousness, ecology, and embodiment, she writes toward a reclamation of erased epistemologies, locating their context in future use cases.

Alongside her creative practice, Yasmin has worked in cultural insights research and behavioural economics, collaborating with global clients such as Netflix, Virgin Atlantic, Bumble and Adidas. Her professional work has centred on audience understanding, mixed-methods research, and the cultural dynamics that shape media engagement.
