A multilingual researcher, translator and linguist, Natalie Smrekar specialises in Arabic sociolinguistics, dialectology and political discourse analysis. She holds a PhD in Language Sciences from the Université Grenoble Alpes and has more than ten years of experience in academic research, translation and international collaboration across the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Her work sits at the intersection of linguistics, politics and culture, exploring how language shapes — and is shaped by — the dynamics of power in the Arabic-speaking world.
