Since 2022, I have been teaching continuously at the university level in several colleges. I have taught Kurdish studies at the Colleges of Science and Planning, as well as courses in literary history, literary texts, and practical applications at the College of Basic Education.

This experience has been characterized by its intellectual diversity, combining theoretical, analytical, and applied aspects, while employing modern teaching methods based on interaction and the development of students' critical thinking skills.

This experience has contributed to the development of my academic and pedagogical competence and enhanced my ability to adapt to different disciplines, thus contributing to the quality of the educational process.

Research

My research interests form a rich intersection between cultural studies and literary criticism, focusing on the dynamics and interrelationships of culture, particularly the phenomenon of cultural fusion and its reflection in literary production. In this context, I am engaged in comparative literature, analyzing the similarities and differences between literatures in diverse cultural contexts, contributing to a deeper understanding of identity and human expression across borders.

I also explore the relationship between classical myth and modern fiction, examining how ancient symbols are reinterpreted within contemporary frameworks, resulting in semantic and aesthetic transformations. This interest is complemented by my engagement with the impact of technology on literature, both in terms of new forms of production and modes of reception, as well as the presence of literature in modern media spaces and the qualitative shifts this offers in literary discourse.

From a critical perspective, I analyze literary texts from multiple angles, including social, political, psychological, and environmental criticism, striving to uncover the underlying structures that shape literary discourse and its relationship to reality. Particular importance is placed on studying the role and status of women in literature, in terms of representation and production, considering this a fundamental axis for understanding cultural and symbolic transformations in contemporary societies.

These axes complement each other to form a research project that seeks to read literature as an interactive space that simultaneously reflects and reproduces the transformations of culture, technology, and society.

After obtaining my Master's degree in Kurdish Literature and Language, I supervised undergraduate research projects, focusing particularly on the novel in Kurdish literature. This supervision employed modern critical approaches, especially narratology and structural analysis, to study narrative structure and representations of identity in novels.

My supervisory methodology involved guiding students in formulating research questions, developing theoretical frameworks, and applying critical analysis tools, while emphasizing the standards and ethics of scientific research. This experience contributed to developing students' critical thinking skills and enhancing their ability to produce rigorous research.

This experience continues as part of the ongoing development of research in the field of the Kurdish novel.
