About SGALM
Seminar for Graduate Arabic Literature and Manuscripts
SGALM is an independent academic platform dedicated to providing advanced scholarly mentorship and critical training for graduate students (MA and PhD) and researchers specializing in classical Arabic literature, rhetoric, and manuscript studies.
Unlike conventional programs, SGALM offers high-level workshops and focused academic supervision designed to elevate the student to expert-level proficiency in analyzing, editing, and engaging with Arabic literary heritage.
Key Features of SGALM:
Non-formal academic supervision to strengthen research methodology, refine scholarly language, and enhance critical thinking skills.
Specialized seminars on underrepresented and essential fields such as:
Criticism of Maqāmāt, Classical Arabic Poetry Analysis, Philosophy of Rhetoric, Major Issues in Manuscript Editing.The aim is not to “correct” students’ research, but to train them to recognize their own gaps, develop critical competence, and engage with source materials at a professional level.
SGALM was founded on the belief that deep knowledge is not transmitted through lecturing, but earned through dialogue, guided inquiry, and rigorous methodological practice.
“This is not where you receive answers — it’s where you learn how to formulate better questions.”
