Short presentation
I received my PhD degree in Semitic languages from Uppsala University in 2023. I am interested in language documentation, oral literature, language and ecology, as well as language endangerment and revitalization in the context of Semitic languages. My work has focused on the Arabic varieties spoken in the southeastern Mediterranean, and my fieldwork experience includes southern Turkey, northern Lebanon and Syria.
