A Session with Award-Winning Author Rania Hussein Amin

The Faculty of Languages wraps up another momentous event, with the distinguished guest, Rania Hussein Amin, the award-winning Egyptian book writer and illustrator. In this session and as a part of the course Young Adult Literature, Amin delved into her inspiration which she draws from her background as a psychologist and a school counsellor. She also attributed much of her creative inventory to being a mother and how her experience in reading to her daughter informed her writing for children and young adults.

In this most engaging session, our students did not leave a stone in Amin’s world-building unturned, they did not only address important themes like bullying, catfishing, and rocky friendships, but they also addressed her artistic choices and brilliant writing techniques. We were very pleased, informed, and stimulated to have this brilliant author, and we eagerly await many sessions to come.
