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.
I've been involved as a digital humanities scholar in CLARIAH, where I work on the integration of oral history and community archives in large-scale research infrastructures, and cross-collection manual annotation.
