Dr. Lindsey Moore, a Reader in Postcolonial Literatures at Lancaster University (UK), gave a talk titled “‘Taking the Suit for a Walk’: Reimagining Urban Modernity in Palestinian Anglophone Fiction” at the University of Jordan on 29/4/2025.

In her lecture, Moore explored how Isabella Hammad’s The Parisian and Suad​ Amiry’s The Mother of Strangers challenge colonialist narratives by reinterpreting historical events and reimagining urban spaces through the perspectives of their protagonists.

The session was moderated by Prof. Yousef Abu Amrieh and attended by the Head of the Department of English Language & Literature, Prof. Hussein Alhawamdeh, along with a number of faculty members and postgraduate students from the department.​
