The Arabic Reading Workshop brings graduate students and faculty together to read Arabic texts that a student is working on for their dissertation or other research project. Participants read and translate their text, focusing on a thorough comprehension of the Arabic and an elegant translation into English. One of the workshop’s main goals is to offer students the opportunity to meet other Arabists in the department and throughout Harvard and to see what they are currently working on.
