My research interest is twofold:

Decolonial Feminism: I am mainly interested in decolonial feminist research focusing on women (and men) oppression and exploitation and analysing patriarchal structures. I explore the historical, post/colonial, socio-political, patriarchal and religious events which contributed to the establishment and construction of unequal gender positions and skewed ideologies. I focus on investigating the well-established patriarchal system in order to deconstruct and dismantle its values to achieve justice, equality and dignity. In my research, I work on reconsidering and redefining decolonial feminism and re-evaluatig its cause.

Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA): I am also interested in gender and language research. I use FCDA to examine the complex way through which gendered ideologies which exhibit asymmetries become "common sense" and explore how these might be challenged. So far, I worked on analysing classroom discourse in an Algerian higher educational setting in the context of Algeria.
