Profile
I am a specialist in the history and heritage of Tunisia’s Jewish minority. I am currently working on the British Academy-funded project, “Traces of Jewish Memory in Contemporary Tunisia,” led by Dr Daniel Lee. I received my PhD in “Heritage Sciences” from the University of Tunis. Before joining Queen Mary in May 2021, I was a researcher and lecturer at the Manouba University in Tunisia.
