University teaching experience is a cornerstone of academic development, providing valuable intellectual exchange and fostering the development of curricula and teaching methods. This experience has spanned several academic institutions and diverse disciplines within the field of Kurdish language and literature since 2011.
My academic journey began at the College of Humanities, University of Zakho, in the Kurdish Language Department, where I taught courses in comparative literature, folklore, and contemporary Kurdish literature. I also supervised fourth-year students' research in folklore and Kurdish novels. This phase contributed significantly to establishing my academic expertise in literary and critical studies.
Later, between 2019 and 2022, I moved my teaching experience to the College of Health Sciences, University of Duhok, where I taught Kurdish studies to students in the Medical Laboratories and Anesthesia departments, enhancing the cultural and linguistic awareness of students in scientific disciplines. The journey continued at the College of Basic Education at the University of Duhok from 2023 to 2025, through teaching Kurdish studies to students in the Departments of Science and Educational Guidance. This allowed for broader academic interaction with diverse educational disciplines.
Since 2026, this experience has been expanded to include teaching the novel, short story, and narrative to second-year students, in addition to participating in various academic and cultural activities. This has strengthened the scholarly presence in the field of Kurdish narrative literature.
This extended experience has resulted in the development of teaching competence, the strengthening of Kurdish cultural identity among students, and a contribution to building a contemporary critical discourse in the fields of the novel and short story. Furthermore, it has presented an academic model that combines authenticity with methodological innovation.
My academic and professional career has been marked by extensive activity in teaching, university administration, and scientific research, through my work at the University of Zakho and the University of Duhok. I participated in numerous scientific and administrative committees that contributed to developing the academic environment and strengthening institutional work.
My academic activities at the University of Zakho began between 2013 and 2017, where I was a member of the committee for the Kurdish Folklore, Heritage, and Folk Literature Festival in the Kurdish Language Department. I also participated in the Research and Supervision Committee and the Scientific Research Committee in the College of Humanities. Additionally, I served on the International Relations Committee, the Preparatory Committee for the Third Scientific Conference on Humanities, and the Student Disciplinary Committee in the Kurdish Language Department.
Among my most prominent international activities was my participation as part of the University of Zakho delegation to Alexandria University/Faculty of Oriental Languages in the Arab Republic of Egypt during the years 2013 to 2015, which contributed to strengthening scientific and cultural cooperation between the two universities. In 2018, I transferred to the College of Health Sciences at the University of Duhok, where I continued my academic activities through my membership on the Student Disciplinary Committee and the Graduate Studies Scientific Committee until 2020. I also served as Head of the Graduate Studies and Scientific Affairs Unit from 2019 to 2022.
In the field of academic quality assurance, I served as Quality Assurance Coordinator in the Science Department at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok, from 2023 to 2025. On November 26, 2025, I assumed the position of Coordinator for the Gender Studies Unit at the College of Education, University of Duhok, a role I continue to hold.
As for scientific research, I participated in the Fifth International Conference of Nawroz University in cooperation with the Al-Dhakwat Foundation for Culture, Arts and Literature and the University of Kufa, held in Dohuk on (9-10/10/2024), and presented scientific research entitled:
