Personal profile
Overview
I specialise in teaching Translation Studies, Modern Languages (MFL) and Arabic studies to widen university access to under-represented groups. My work on Iraqi women’s literature was inspired by community work in the UK and living in the Middle East. My research interests include Iraqi and Arab women’s writing, Palestinian and other exilic literatures, postcolonial literary studies and intersectional feminist translation theories. I am editor for New Voices in Translation Studies, International Association of Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS).
