Welcome,

I am Salim Kerboua. I am specialized in American Studies. My research interests are interdisciplinary and focus on Intellectual History, the US schools of political thought and their approaches to foreign policy with a special emphasis on the Arab-Muslim World. I am also a lecturer at Mohamed Khider University of Biskra (MKUB), Algeria, where I teach American and British Civilizations courses to undergraduate and Master students of Anglophone Studies. I also teach cultural studies and Introduction to Academic Research (Methodology of Research Writing). This blog is aimed at providing some information (syllabi, grading info, notices, ...) to MKU students who take my class.

Bienvenue sur mon blog,

Je suis Salim Kerboua. Américaniste de formation, mes recherches sont essentiellement interdisciplinaires et portent sur l'histoire des idées, les écoles et mouvements de pensée politique aux Etats Unis, ainsi que leur relations avec la politique étrangère et le monde arabo-musulman. Je suis aussi enseignant-chercheur à l'Université Mohamed Khider de Biskra, Algerie. J'enseigne les civilisations américaine et britannique aux étudiants de L3, M1, et M2 Anglais, option littératures et civilisations anglophones, et je dirige les mémoires de fin d'études des étudiants de Master 2. J'enseigne aussi la méthodologie du travail universitaire aux étudiants de L2 et M2. Ce blog a pour but de fournir le programme, des cours, des lien utiles, etc. aux étudiants concernés.
