Biography
I’m a DPhil candidate in Arabic and Comparative Literature at AMES, funded by Clarendon scholarship. I obtained my MA and BA degrees in English Literature from The American University of Beirut, with a focus on theatre and philosophy. My current research explores modern Arabic literature in the Mashriq and Maghrib, with particular attention to personal libraries/archives, the novel, and theatre. I’m also an editorial board member of the OCCT Review journal.
