Caroline Roset

Position

Since August 2004 I work as a lecturer at the Department of Arabic Language and Culture at the University of Amsterdam. I mainly teach modern Egyptian-Arabic as well as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), but also Research Skills (Onderzoeksvaardigheden), Academic Writing (Academisch Schrijven), Introduction to Arabic Linguistics (Inleiding Arabische Taalkunde), the Core Course Arabic Linguistics (Verdieping Arabische Taalkunde) and Modern Arabic Texts. Formerly I have been teaching Classical Arabic Texts.

Curriculum Vitae

I studied Arabic, French and Dutch at the Higher School forTranslation and Interpreting (HBOTolk-Vertaler) in Maastricht and I have been sworn into office as a translator in those languages. Subsequently, I studied Arabic at the University of Amsterdam, graduating in 1997 on my theses on modern Yemeni poetry.


As part of my studies of Arabic I spent six months in Cairo and one academic year in Damascus, both at the local French institutes for Arabic Studies. During my studies at the University of Amsterdam, I did an apprenticeship at the Dutch Embassy in Sana'a, Yemen, in 1996.

After graduating, I worked on a local road safety project in North-East Syria for the oil company Shell in 1998. Back in the Netherlands, I got employed as an official in asylum matters at the Dutch Immigration- and Naturalizaton Service and later as a legal secretary at several Amsterdam law firms.

Extracurricular

In October 2007 I organised a congress about Middle Arabic. Furthermore, I translated the Iraqi novel Ghaayib by Betool Khedairi from Arabic into Dutch (Afwezig), which has been published in May 2009. My review on Mejdell's Mixed Styles in Spoken Arabic in Egypt has been published in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung volume 104 (2009) issue 3.

PhD Research

Officially since 1 September 2011, I perform a research project on the spoken Arabic of Darfur (West-Sudan) at The Amsterdam Centre for Language and Communication (ACLC), the institute for linguistic research within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam. My supervisors are Manfred Woidich and Kees Hengeveld. I am currently transcribing and analysing the data that I collected last January and February among Darfurians living in Khartoum.
