Personal profile
Personal information
I specialize in historical culture and memory in Morocco, Algeria and among North African communities in Europe, with emphasis on the history and representation of Berber culture, literature and arts. I have done research on Berber cultural activism and collective memory in Morocco and Europe, oral history and the history of emigration from the Moroccan Rif, Moroccan history textbooks and museums, French colonial ethnology in North Africa, and the reception of antiquity in (colonial) Algeria and Morocco.
Teaching
At Vrije Universiteit, I teach courses within the field of global history: International relations from below (BA2) and Global and Political History: 1500 - present (BA3).
I also coordinate the interdisciplinary university minor Migration Studies.
Research
I currently participate in CLARIAH-PLUS and am responsible for the integration of oral history collections in the Media Suite. Previous and ongoing research into the integration of community oral history and data reuse in large scale research infrastructures has been funded by CLARIAH-CORE and NWO.
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 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.
