Hijab is a frequent commentator on the media, including BBC World, and has appeared on the Lehrer Newshour. She is a regular public speaker and was recently the 2007 George F. Kennan co-panelist at the Wisconsin Institute for World Affairs. Hijabs first book, Womanpower: The Arab debate on women at work (1988) was published by Cambridge University Press. She co-authored Citizens Apart: A Portrait of Palestinians in Israel (I. B. Tauris 1990).

She is a past president of the Association of Arab American University Graduates.
