I am an expert of Arabic and Islamic studies. I have been hired to focus on immigrant communities coming
from Arabic/Islamic countries and in particular, to examine the situation of second generation immigrants. I
am charged with designing outreach programs and projects, conducting research and developing expertise
in regard to the Muslim population in Campania, in Italy and in co-operation with European Union
Institution (EU Commission for Multilingualism) U.S.A and Canadian Governments .As advisor on
immigration policies of Campania regional board of administration (2000-2007) I leaded a large number of
educational projects. I managed several international cooperation projects. I also incorporated those
experiences in the public sphere in my academic work at the University of Naples “L’ Orientale” in order to
support academic and educational projects on multicultural and gender activities particularly in European
or North American contexts where Muslim communities live, and in order to help second and future
generation of young Muslims to balance their lives as living as natives while maintaining the heritage and
traditions of their parents’ and grandparents’ countries. I participated in the International Visitor
Leadership Program of the United States Department of State. I am also the only non-Muslim mentor in the
Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow programme of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. Founder and
activist in international women movements.
