LAWRENCE, KS

Join us for an engaging introduction to Algerian and North African culture with Dr. Asmaa Benbaba. Originally from Rabat, Morocco, Dr. Benbaba teaches Arabic at KU and is passionate about sharing language and culture both on campus and in the broader community. Whether you’re excited about Lawrence hosting the Algerian National Team for the World Cup or simply curious to learn more about this vibrant region, this is a chance to authentically connect with another culture.

We’ll start with a brief introduction to Algerian and North African history and customs, followed by a screening of Inch’Allah Dimanche, a powerful film that follows an Algerian woman’s journey as she moves to France to join her husband and navigates the challenges of adapting to a new life. We’ll save the last 20 minutes for questions and discussion.
