On Wednesday, 25 May 2016, at 4.30pm in the Faculty of Arts Library of the University, Prof. Mourad Yelles will be giving a public talk in English entitled, “Some main issues on oral tradition. Women’s urban quatrains in North Africa.” His overview of this complex area of study will be illustrated by references to his research on female oral poetry in the Maghreb.
