Hind Sabah Bilal

Postgraduate Researcher
Drama

Hind Sabah Bilal is a PhD candidate in Drama at the University of Exeter, where she has been part of the Department of Communication, Drama and Film since September 2021. Her research focuses on the representation of women in contemporary Iraqi plays that address war and occupation following the 2003 war on Iraq. Employing performance and dramatic analysis, her work explores how theatre serves as a medium for cultural memory, resistance and the reimagining of gender roles in post-conflict Iraq.

 

Hind earned her MA in English Drama from Al-Qadisiyah University and her BA in English Language and Literature from Babylon University, both in Iraq. Currently, she is on academic leave from her role as a lecturer in the English Department at the University of Kufa, supported by a highly competitive scholarship from the Higher Committee for Developing Education in Iraq (HCED).

 

Her scholarly contributions include several journal articles published in Iraq and Turkey, with two forthcoming pieces in Global Performance Studies (GPS) and Arab Stages, both part of special issues dedicated to Iraqi theatre.
