Professor of Arab studies, University of Oslo

I do research on language, ideology, culture and society in the Arab Middle East and North Africa. Geographically, my research focuses on Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon and Tunisia. My publications include books on the political role of journalism in the Arab Middle East and North Africa, independent Arab comics, and the rhetoric of Islamist activists in the Middle East.
Currently, I serve as Head of Research at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages at the University of Oslo.
