I am currently employed as a research assistant at Malmö University. In 2014, I successfully earned my Ph.D. in Arabic Literature from Cairo University. My dissertation focused on the intriguing subject of textual transformation within modern Arabic novels, a topic that continues to captivate my academic pursuits.
My teaching journey began in 2004 at Hadhramout University, where I served as a dedicated lecturer until 2009. This commitment led to my appointment as an assistant professor from 2014 to 2016. After this, I was honored to be granted a two-year fellowship from the International Institute for Education—Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF), which further enriched my academic path.
Between 2017 and 2019, I embraced the role of a researcher at Lund University’s Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies in Sweden. My continued affiliation with the exact center reflects my ongoing dedication to academic pursuits.
During my IIE-SRF fellowship, my energies were primarily channeled into the project titled ‘Research Advocacy and Public Policymaking in the Arab World.’ This project’s core objective was to curate an annotated bibliography dedicated to human rights within the Arab World. This undertaking involved meticulously reviewing and categorizing over 400 Arabic-language sources—a task that I undertook with dedication and rigor.
Adding to my academic journey, I accomplished my second master’s degree in media and communication studies from Malmö University in 2023, thereby broadening my knowledge horizons.
My research interests are both diverse and comprehensive, spanning a range of subjects including discourse analysis, literature studies, education, capacity-building within higher education, and the development of sustainable post-conflict recovery strategies for the impending challenges in Yemen. Additionally, my involvement extends to projects that explore the transformative potential of art and media, fostering democracy, advancing gender equity, and promoting social justice within Yemen.
My extensive experience encompasses managing cultural initiatives and providing training to writers and researchers, empowering them to conduct thorough studies and generate insightful analytical articles. This expertise is particularly notable within the spheres of media and think tank centers, where I have made significant contributions.
