Norah Karrouche

At Vrije Universiteit, I teach courses within the fields of ancient and modern history: Cultural Contact: East and West (BA1), Confrontation between Greek and Near Eastern Civilizations (MA), International relations from below (BA3), International organizations: institutions, people, networks (BA3), and Introduction to migration studies (BA3).

I also coordinate the interdisciplinary university minor Migration Studies. 

I taught a seminar on museum collection and exhibition research at Reinwardt Academie (Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Bachelor Cultureel erfgoed) from 2015 until 2017.

In between 2014 and 2017, I lectured in the Morocco: Migration and Transnational Identity SIT-Study Abroad Program for U.S. college students in both Rabat and Amsterdam. I have supervised several Independent Study Projects on Moroccan history.

I currently participate in CLARIAH-CORE as a WP5 Media Studies scholar.

My research on Berber museums in Morocco in 2014 and 2015 was funded by a Catharine van Tussenbroek Fellowship, a travel grant from the Lutfia Rabbani Foundation, and an employability grant (€12.000) from the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam). 

I was a visiting researcher at Max Planck Institue for Social Anthropology in Halle, Germany, in 2013 and at the French CNRS-institute Centre Jacques Berque in Rabat, Morocco, in 2014.
