Emma Gilbert
Hi Everyone ! I’m Emma Gilbert, the French TA for the next two semesters here in Allegheny. I am 20, and I’m pursuing a double degree of Law and Languages (English and Italian) in France at Nantes Université, which I will finish next year when I go back to France. Here at Allegheny College I am also following classes of Legal Psychology and Law Justice and Judicial process as I want to continue my studies in comparative Law. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out or to come to my office, looking forward to seeing you all!
Fethi Dehiles
Where do you live?
I’m from Oran, Algeria, a coastal city known for its rich culture, vibrant music, and
stunning Mediterranean views.
What is your academic background?
I hold a Doctor in Dental Medicine degree and am also a certified English teacher. I’ve taught English in Algeria, Tunisia, and Jordan. Before coming to the US, I was managing a dental clinic. Currently, I’m the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant for Arabic at Allegheny College.
What do you want people to know about your country?
Algeria is full of beautiful contrasts—deserts, mountains, and beaches all in one country.
It has a deep history, from ancient Roman ruins to the heart of the Arab world. And Oran, of course, “if you ask me” is the best city in Algeria. Family is very important in Algeria. People are known for their hospitality, always welcoming guests with tea, coffee, sweets, and food.
Algeria is the birthplace of Rai music, Chaabi, Gnawa and many others.
Three fun facts about me
- I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a morning person, no matter how early I go to bed.
- I’m a coffee addict—seriously, I can’t function without it.
- I love meeting people from different cultures and learning about their experiences
