Research interests:
Arabic literature, especially the ancient one, has been my passion since my undergraduate studies. Hence, I specialized in literature and criticism during my master's degree, furthering my interest in studying ancient literature in general, and Abbasid literature in particular. During my doctoral studies, I researched Andalusian literature, comparing it to Abbasid literature. Additionally, due to the nature of my work, I am currently interested in researching modern teaching methods and developing curricula, as well as their assessment mechanisms. In the future, I aim to delve into educational psychology and utilize it in both teaching and curriculum development.
