Rodaina Mousa

Rodaina (Roudi) Mousa is a Fulbright Scholar from Alexandria, Egypt, whose research engages with cross-cultural and transnational literary traditions. She holds a B.A. In English and Comparative Literature from Alexandria University, and an M.A. in English from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Her research interests include world literature, diaspora studies, and transnational women’s memoir writing, with particular attention to how narratives of displacement and migration shape identity and belonging.

When she's not in school, she is often making art in her tiny home studio, or spending time with her husband and two cats.
