About me
The enlightenment needs to be enlightened!
My research focuses on themes revolving around German classical philosophy, political philosophy, as well as modern Arabic philosophy. AGYA has given me an opportunity to deepen my expertise by further exploring intercultural and interdisciplinary aspects of my research. With my colleagues Carola Richter, Fatima Kastner, and Florian Kohstall, I was able to consider the academic transformations that emerged after the ‘Arab Spring’ from both a theoretical and biographical perspective.
AGYA’s diverse network has facilitated my adoption of an interdisciplinary viewpoint, which has yielded valuable insights for my projects. My AGYA projects have brought me into new intellectual territory, and I expect my future academic endeavours to continue to benefit greatly from my engagement in AGYA.
