Displacement in Modern Arab Culture Displacement has shaped the modern Arab world and continues to do so, driving populations into exile and diaspora from North Africa, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, and elsewhere in the Arab world. Cultural production from the Arab world is deeply influenced by the communal experience of displacement and responds to it in a variety of ways. In this course, we will analyze how themes of migration, exile, and diaspora manifest in literature, film, and contemporary artistic expression. Through critical examination and discussion, students will gain insight into the ways in which Arab identities and narratives are shaped by the experience of upheaval, and what potential impacts it may have on Arab cultural production and language in the future.

Intermediate Arabic II This course is a continuation of Arabic 0201. Fifth in a series of courses that develop reading, speaking, listening, writing, and cultural skills in Arabic.  This course stresses communication in formal and spoken Arabic. (ARBC 0201 or equivalent).

Beginning Arabic I struck the rare balance of rigorous grammar instruction and genuine cultural immersion, leaving me not just able to conjugate verbs but eager to keep speaking the language outside of class.

Professor Liebhaber was super helpful. You always knew what to expect on exams. Most of class is spent doing speaking/conversational exercises, which went a long way in helping my informal Arabic. Homework is long, but you're not expected to always finish it, and the grading is flexible.

Maryait is the best. She's very understanding and accommodating but also will be tough on you when she thinks it's necessary and it's very effective. She is hilarious and makes class fun + interesting. She's a generous grader and you can always ask her questions. Def memorize the vocab for each lesson.
