Mahmoud Dhaouadi

Mahmoud Dhaouadi was born in a rural region called Zreeba near the towns of Kalaat al-Andalus and Aousdja in the northeast of Tunisia where no formal school existed. His father established the Qutab (a place for learning the Quran and writing and reading Arabic) to teach his children. Mahmoud studied his secondary education in the Zeituna school where Arabic is the single teaching language of all subjects, unlike most of the other Tunisian schools. His higher education was in USA and Canada where he received a BA in psychology and an MA and Ph.D. in sociology. He taught at worldwide universities. Professor Dhaouadi has published over 20 interdisciplinary books, over 200 essays, long and short articles, and book reviews, in Arabic, English, and French.
