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.
