I am currently a professor of Comparative Literature (English, French, Arabic) at the University Mohamed Ben Ahmed, Oran 2 in Algeria. I have earned a PhD in Comparative Literature on Sufism in Algeria and Transcendentalism in the United States. My field of interest is comparative literature with a focus on postcolonial Africa and the challenge between remembering and forgetfulness. I am also interested in literary theories dealing with questions of gender and identity in literary discourse.
