She is also conducting research on cultural and artistic initiatives during the early years of the Nasserist regime. She has served as senior editor of the Arab Studies Journal since 2010, and guest edited a themed issued on the visual arts (spring 2010). Ramadan is a founding member of the Association for Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab world, Iran, and Turkey (AMCA).

She has been invited to lecture on the cultural politics of the region at a number of museums and academic institutions including the New Museum, the Tate Britain and Modern, SOAS University of London, European University Institute, and the American Research Center in Egypt. For the academic year 2013–14 she was a EUME postdoctoral fellow at the Berlin-based Forum Transregionale Studien.
