After years of only getting bits and pieces of our history, Academiya felt like coming home. The seminar wasn't just a lecture; it was a rich, nuanced conversation. I could ask questions directly to a leading scholar and discuss ideas with a community of curious minds. It's the deeper, more thoughtful engagement I've been looking for.
I've been part of the Afikra community for years, and Academiya is the structured deep dive I was craving. My course was a global conversation about resistance and identity, not just a class on a topic. This is the intellectual freedom Afikra has always stood for, now in a format where you can truly engage and unpack the complexity. It really is the next step on the journey.
As a history teacher, I'm always looking for credible sources to help my students challenge the dominant narratives they're taught. Finding Academiya has been a game-changer. The content is rigorous, critical, and provides perspectives I simply can't find in traditional textbooks. This independent space provides the vital tools needed for the real work of reclaiming history in the classroom.
Why Academiya?
Previously known as afikra Academy, we are now rebranding it to be Academiya. We want to reclaim Arab voices to cultivate independent knowledge.
