We are delighted to announce that the IPRH has recognized Dr. Ahyad’s expertise and the value of translation studies by awarding her a fellowship to conduct research during summer 2020.  Dr. Ahyad’s project is to translate Manahil Sindi’s novel Nisf Estiwa (“Half-Cooked”) from Makkan to English.

The project has three parts: the translation of Manahil Sindi’s novel Nisf Estiwa (Half-Cooked), from Makkan Arabic into English, a research paper, and an interview with the Makkan novelist.

Only four projects were chosen for this distinction, among all the applications received across the campus.  Heartiest congratulations to Dr. Ahyad!
