Gretchen Head

Assistant Professor of Literature at Yale-NUS College, I hold a PhD in Arabic literature from the University of Pennsylvania and have been a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities and Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley. I’m currently working on a monograph that engages with a wide range of Arabic prose material, primarily from Morocco and written between the 19^th and 21^stcenturies, including travel narratives, historical chronicles, dystopian satires, and hybridized novels.
