About Us
Maghrib in Past & Present | Podcasts is
a forum in which artists, writers, and scholars from North Africa, the United
States, and beyond can present their ongoing and innovative research on and
cultural activities in the Maghrib. The podcasts are recorded at research
centers, universities, and cultural venues across the Maghrib – Algiers,
Carthage, Casablanca, Mostaghanem, Nouakchott, Oran, Rabat, Sfax, Tangier, Tripoli,
and Tunis – and are based on lectures or performances before live audiences.
Aiming to project the scientific and cultural dynamism of research in and on
North Africa into the classroom, we too hope to reach a wider audience across
the globe. Maghrib in Past & Present | Podcasts are in Arabic, English,
French, Spanish, and Tamazight.
