Tarik Sabry publishes a refereed journal issue on Moroccan Cultural Studies

Prof. Tarik Sabry, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies and co-founder of the Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication (MEJCC), has co-edited a landmark special issue of the journal dedicated to Moroccan cultural studies — the first of its kind in any language to conceptualise this emerging field.

The special issue, co-edited with two Moroccan scholars and recently published by Brill, builds on discussions and collaborations initiated during an event organised by Professor Sabry at the University of Mohammed VI in Morocco in June 2024. Bringing together researchers, academics and cultural practitioners, the issue marks an important milestone in rethinking how Moroccan cultural life and media are studied and represented.

Co-founded and co-edited by Prof. Sabry, the MEJCC is a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal that provides a critical platform for scholars examining culture, communication and politics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Published by Brill, the journal encourages work that challenges dominant frameworks of knowledge production and contributes to the development of decolonial and transnational perspectives on media and communication.

Accessible via the University of Westminster Library, the journal supports the School of Media and Communication’s commitment to decolonial scholarship, offering students and researchers an opportunity to engage with new theoretical and cultural perspectives from across the MENA region and its diasporas.
