from the Arabic word inshālla (ان شاء الله), meaning ‘God-willing’ or ‘if God wills’

The Oldest Bookseller of Rabat…

Mohamed Aziz, a 72-year-old bookseller, living in Rabat, Morocco, spends 6 to 8 hours a day reading books. Having read over 5000 books in French, Arabic, and English, he remains the oldest bookseller in Rabat, spending more than 43 years in the same location.

When asked about leaving his books unattended outside, where they could potentially be stolen, he responded that those who can’t read don’t steal books, and those who can, aren’t thieves.

Hear his thoughts on the book everyone needs to read, great advice for this Ramadan…

After that dinner, we invited him over every week. Sometimes he'd show us old clips. Sometimes he’d bring his violin.

The first thing he played us: Despacito. (My 2 kids were a terrible audience. The 2yo covered his ears. The 5yo ran out of the room.🤦)

How wonderful to finally hold and pour over this new volume on Oman and the reign of Sultan Qaboos. It’s an honor to have my chapter on Omani environmental policy included here. Many thanks to the editors for their support and perseverance in seeing this project through.

@ProfStiff So sorry Matt. Hope you and your family are all ok.

We discussed the long tradition of sustainability and resource management as exemplified in the Sultanate’s environmental policy making since the 1970s. We thank our students for their flexibility, good humor, and generosity of spirit, without which none of our work is possible.

We were thrilled to celebrate Women’s History Month with Ruth Ann Skaff, a tireless advocate for Arab Americans. Our students loved learning about Arab Americans living on the Gulf Coast, women and archive building, and cultural production and social justice in Houston.
