Arabic, Islamic and Middle East Studies at Ghent University
The section of Arabic, Islamic and Middle East Studies at Ghent University approaches the Middle East from various perspectives, including anthropology, history, religious studies, philology, linguistics, literature. The languages, cultures and societies of this important region are the focus of our teaching, research and public outreach. Current perspectives such as decolonization, intersectionality, multiperspectivism and the critical interrogation of globalisation and orientalism represent a common feature.
