Visiting Lecturer in Arabic

Abdulgaleel Ahmed is a linguist, educator, and advocate for the transformative power of language. Holding a PhD in Linguistics, he has dedicated his career to exploring the rich complexities of language theory, linguistic anthropology, and language pedagogy. Ahmed has held postdoctoral fellowships at Columbia University and Harvard University, where he taught courses in the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. At the heart of his work is a deep belief in the power of language to shape lives and societies. He sees language not merely as a tool of communication, but as a living bridge—one that carries memory, identity, and belonging across borders. Through his teaching and research, he strives to illuminate how words connect us, sustain culture, and build communities in an ever-evolving and diverse global landscape.
