Bio
Nevine Abraham joined Carnegie Mellon University in 2012 as a French instructor but soon became engaged in developing the Arabic program. Her faculty teaching position started in fall 2022. Throughout Abraham's involvement in the Arabic program at CMU, her teaching experience has focused on the Arabic language and Arab literature and culture. She developed a first-semester online Arabic course that teaches the Arabic writing system, modern standard Arabic, the Egyptian and Levantine dialects and Arab culture.
Abraham's research draws on her teaching to build her students' intercultural competence. It focuses on literary and cultural studies and examines minorities in the intellectual, social and political history of the Middle East and North Africa.
