First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hello, I am a PhD student in Germany and I have already started writing and recently completed two chapters of my dissertation. My dissertation mainly focuses on the Islamic social movements , discussing their ideological transformation in connection with the regime-change and social development. I am interested to discuss my work and argument with a native English speaker and to have a friend in Italki who can help me to develop my academic writing and debate with me my arguments. I can help you with Arabic in exchange. I published several books and Articles in Arabic and I have taught Arabic as a foreign language for many students.
