Brahim el Guabli and the Middle East Studies Pedagogy Initiative (MESPI)
Brahim el Guabli teaches Arabic language and culture in the United States.

Prior to living in the United States, Brahim was involved in the Moroccan civil society for many years. He is also a co-editor of Jadaliyya`s Maghreb Page.

It will be the one-stop shop for course design on the macro level, lesson planning on the micro level, and for scholarship vis-a-vis specific topics, countries, and disciplines.
