Person

Doctoral student in Semitic Languages at Lund University with a background in Peace and Conflict Studies, Arabic and Linguistics. After my undergraduate studies, I spent one and a half years cycling around the world to explore different languages and cultures. Before starting at LU, I worked for five years as a social worker in Malmö.

My research focuses on Syrian Arabic and the social factors that influence how people use language. For my dissertation, I collect data through extensive, semi-structured interviews in Aleppo Arabic to address the demand for more high-quality, reusable datasets in Levantine Arabic other than Damascene Arabic.
