Karima Bouziane

Karima Bouziane serves as Associate Professor at Chouaib Doukkali University (UCD) in El Jadida, Morocco, with dual research affiliations at LERIC (Le Laboratoire d'Études et de Recherches sur l'Interculturel) and leadership roles in professional organizations. She coordinates Erasmus+ mobility programs enabling academic exchanges between Moroccan and European institutions.

Her research spans four interconnected domains: Intercultural Communication (examining cultural dynamics in professional contexts), Advertising (analyzing cross-cultural marketing discourse), Translation Studies (focusing on linguistic transfer mechanisms), and English for Specific Purposes (developing discipline-specific language pedagogy). These areas converge in her investigation of language-culture interfaces within globalized professional environments.

As Editor-in-Chief of the International Arab Journal of English for Specific Purposes (IAJESP), she advances scholarly discourse in ESP applications across Arab academic contexts. Her presidency of AMED (Association for Management, Economics and Human Development) demonstrates commitment to interdisciplinary approaches in socioeconomic development research.

Professor Bouziane actively cultivates international research networks through Erasmus+ coordination, facilitating collaborative projects that integrate her expertise in intercultural communication with European academic partners. Her laboratory affiliation with LERIC provides institutional support for empirical studies on intercultural phenomena in Moroccan and transnational settings.
