​Dr. Ahmad Shalabi from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Ahliyya Amman University participated in the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility program through an academic visit to Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, within the framework of enhancing academic and cultural cooperation between higher education institutions.
​During the visit, Dr. Shalabi met with several academics and faculty members at the Hungarian university, where they discussed ways to strengthen cooperation between the two universities in the fields of teaching, scientific research, and academic and cultural exchange, alongside exploring future opportunities to build academic and research partnerships that contribute to broadening horizons of collaboration with European educational institutions.
​Dr. Shalabi also delivered an academic lecture titled "Occidentalism Revisited: Insights from Contemporary Anglophone Arab Diasporic Literature." The lecture addressed the concept of Occidentalism and representations of the West in contemporary Arab literature written in English, focusing on the experiences of Arab writers in the diaspora and how experiences of migration, asylum, and alienation have contributed to reshaping the image of the West in contemporary Anglophone Arab literature.
​The lecture witnessed engagement and academic discussion on the intersections between literature, post-colonial studies, migration, and cultural identity.
