Arab and Islamic Studies, Politics Subject Librarian

I am the Subject Specialist Librarian for  Arabic and Islamic Studies, Politics offering personalised support, advice and training.

I studied Arabic at Manchester University under G Rex Smith and Norman Calder. After graduating, I taught English in Germany, Qatar, Tunisia, Jordan and Oman.  I returned home to work as an assistant       in the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Library, The Middle East Centre St Antony’s College, and the Oriental Institute Library, Oxford University.

My areas of interest include the role of Classical Arabic today; Classical Arabic Lexicography and Grammatical Tradition with reference to Pedagogy; and Critiques of Religious Belief.
