The mid-term evaluation is organized in two parts and starts with a 2-hour public seminar, followed by a closed meeting.

The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the progress of the PhD project at a point when it is still possible to make small or substantial changes. In general, we want to know how the candidate is doing, how much work is done, and what is left.

About the PhD candidate and her research

My doctoral project aims to explore Arabic literary texts from East Africa in order to understand the cultural, historical, and political realities of this region through critical analysis of Arabic literary narratives written by native writers.
