Abir is a coordinator and lecturer at the University of Mannheim. Employed at the Dean’s Office of the School of Humanities, she is the academic advisor for incoming students and the coordinator of virtual mobility, a position that has been created to advance virtual collaborations and virtual exchange on an international scale. Since her employment, the School of Humanities has realised a virtual course catalogue to increase inclusivity, as well as COIL projects with the U.S. and Sweden.
She is also active as a teacher in International Cultural Studies, which she considers a profoundly productive extension of her background in Literary Studies, where she is working on a PhD on Contemporary British Drama.
