Just back from Casablanca where I co-taught a course on sociology of the night with Prof. Sana Benbelli at Hassan II Univ.
Night walks, sharp students, & lots to reflect on.
Happy that this work also caught the attention of the press

Great pleasure to give the masterclass “Exploring the Urban Night: Qualitative Methods and Ethical Challenges” yesterday at INAU Rabat.
Thanks to Hind Ftouhi for the kind invitation — and well, it’s not every day you see your face on every bulletin board at the uni!
This week, I’m leading sessions on #NightStudies with the Master DIS students at LADSIS – @Universiteh2c de Casablanca (UH2C).
Thanks to the students for their great engagement and to Sana Benbeli for the warm welcome and support.
Honoured to give a talk at LADSIS – @Universiteh2c de Casablanca (UH2C), titled
Sociologie de la nuit : interactions, politiques publiques, culture et transformation urbaine.
Grateful to Sana Benbeli for her trust and long-standing collaboration.
