ARABIC CONTENT PROJECT

This year, led by Nesrin Alrefaai, our Arabic Content Project – seeking to translate our publications, blogs and website into Arabic – took great strides forward. Social media engagement in Arabic has increased on Twitter and funding from the Eden Centre allowed us to offer two paid undergraduate internship opportunities for Arabic assistants. LSE Careers funding allowed us to hire a postgraduate student, Hind Taha, as Arabic Methodology Project Assistant.

The new Arabic-language MEC website, with built-in language switch capabilities for all browsers, launched in December 2021.

Arabic-language blog posts have received over 9,000 hits from 191 countries.
