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.

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 .

Moreover, if you are interested in presenting, or would like to suggest a speaker for the upcoming series please contact Dino Jaku拧i膰.

Dr Dino Jaku拧i膰 (IAS P2K) has recently published an article entitled focusing on how academic freedom was conceived of during German Enlightenment and what we can learn from it today.

鈥淚n this article I argue that it is possible to find a positive account of academic freedom or of 鈥渇reedom to philosophise鈥� within Enlightenment thought. I focus on the case of Christian Wolff and his discussion of libertas philosophandi. I start by contextualising Wolff鈥檚 life and philosophy and discussing the negative aspect of his freedom to philosophise. I then present a case for an additional positive version understood as epistemic autonomy. Finally, I explain Wolffian epistemic autonomy within the context of his wider theory of cognition."
