Living with Ghosts is Roxanne's first monograph. This book moves the field of study of Arab women鈥檚 writing on from the Anglophone preoccupation with the 鈥渂ravery鈥 that it takes to put pen to paper, and instead focuses on what the pen actually does. This book shows that Arab women writers innovate and utilise Gothic forms to 鈥渓ive with the ghosts鈥 of foremothers, who represent lost knowledges about violence and feminised heritage. Examining contemporary Arab women鈥檚 writing from the 1970s to the present through the lens of world-literary systems and feminist theory, this book details aesthetic patterns between decades, nations, and authors. The works of canonical Arab feminist authors such as Nawal El Saadawi and Hanan Al-Shaykh are put in conversation with those of contemporary authors such as Adania Shibli, Joumana Haddad, and Mansoura Ez Eldin. These works are linked through their creative feminist theorisations of loss and living.

Our 鈥業rrational鈥 Past 鈥 Seminar Series (2025/26)
An interdisciplinary seminar series Our 鈥Irrational鈥 Past, organised by Dr Dino Jaku拧i膰, is coming back in 2025/2026! The series brings together a number of interdisciplinary scholars in order to reflect on the history, misconceptions, and presuppositions that underlie the state of academic disciplines as they exist today. The aim is to challenge commonly accepted narratives regarding how our disciplines historically developed into their present shape. We will also investigate how theories and worldviews of the past which we would no longer accept still play a role of unquestioned presuppositions within contemporary science and academia.
While the speakers for the 25/26 seminars are still being organised, please feel free to .
