Amina RACHID
Ex-Coordinator of the Committee for Egypt
My name is Amina Rachid and I am a professor in comparative and French literature at Cairo University. I completed a Bachelors degree in French literature at Cairo University in 1958 and a doctorate in literature at the Sorbonne in 1976. I worked as a researcher at the CNRS (French National Centre of Scientific Research) in Paris from 1970 to 1978, at which point I
returned to Egypt to work in my current position at the Cairo University.
Besides teaching, I write both fiction and criticism and am active in different organisations, in particular the “group for University autonomy”, which I devote a lot of time to. I am also involved in the solidarity movement with Palestine and Iraq.

Note : the activities on the Charter in this region are currently much reduced, so is the participation of Amina in the process.
