Arabic and Spanish Faculty Exchange

Faculty members in Arabic and Spanish (Hanada Al-Masri and Jason Busic, Denison, Abeer Abdelaal, Ohio Wesleyan) will lecture in one another’s classroom in spring 2019 to share research about the sociolinguistic/diglossic situation in the Arab world, increase students’ awareness of Arab culture, and, in Spanish classrooms, discuss Christian-Muslim identities and mutual influence in medieval and early modern Iberia. Faculty members will present a panel discussion about their current research in these areas at both institutions.
