Profile

I am a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and Language Education at the School of Education. I came to the UK in 2013 to do my PhD in Applied Linguistics and TESOL after fleeing the war in Syria. As a refugee academic and social justice activist, my research focuses on language and migration, language and identity, linguistic issues affecting refugees and migrants, minority language education and others (please see research tab for more details). I have been invited as a keynote speaker and a guest to national and international events to talk about my research.

Prior to joining the University of Leicester, I worked as a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and TESOL at Birkbeck, University of London, and as a Teaching Fellow in English Language and Applied Linguistics at the University of Reading. I also taught EFL/EAP in different countries in the Middle East and also in the UK. Previously, I worked as a TV journalist and was involved in making different investigatory reports on international contemporary stories as well as researching emerging news stories.
