Research interests emphasize cultural memory, linguistic nationalism, and the intersection of identity and language in the modern Middle East. Salameh’s work bridges historical analysis with contemporary scholarship, particularly through studies on minority communities in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel. His publications highlight themes like the revival of Modern Standard Arabic and Hebrew, and the role of French missionaries in shaping regional intellectual traditions.
Recent articles reflect trends in Middle Eastern cultural studies, exploring topics such as Beirut’s urban identity, minority narratives, and the legacy of colonialism. His interdisciplinary approach integrates literary, historical, and sociological perspectives, often focusing on underrepresented voices. Salameh’s translations and anthologies further contribute to preserving Levantine cultural heritage in multiple languages.
