University of Birmingham | United Kingdom

Dr. Anissa Daoudi is an Associate Professor and Head of the Arabic Section in Translation Studies (Arabic-English-Arabic) at the University of Birmingham, where she also directs the MA in Translation Studies program. A British citizen with a distinguished academic career, she specializes in transnational feminist translation, gender and cultural studies, sociolinguistics, computer-mediated communication, literature, and discourse analysis. Her research, supported by prestigious grants such as the Leverhulme Trust and the British Library, explores themes of trauma, memory, and silenced voices, particularly focusing on Algerian women during the Civil War. She is the author of several influential monographs, including The Protectorate of Silence and forthcoming works such as Translating Trauma and e-Araby, alongside numerous peer-reviewed articles and edited volumes. Her innovative scholarship bridges language, power, and identity, positioning translation as both an academic discipline and a medium of social change, while amplifying marginalized voices in the Arab world.
