Hanaa Walzer is a freelance writer, blogger, educator, lecturer, and editor who has published in a variety of Muslim and non-Muslim magazines, journals, and blogs. Her most recent essay is due to appear this summer in an anthology titled “Muslim Women At Home.” She has a diverse background culturally, ethnically, linguistically, professionally, and academically. As a revert to Islam who lived on three different continents, nestled within a variety of cultures, and peculiarly fascinated with and passionate about languages and literatures, she constantly attempts to connect all the worlds she belongs to. She endlessly interlaces discourses, narratives, ideas, and concepts to bridge gaps, and widen her own worldview while attempting to improve others’ understanding of each other. Although her academic background is in languages and literatures, with a BA, MA and PhD in Languages and Literatures, she has also studied business, and is an avid reader of everything from philosophy to fashion, with many stops in-between. As the mother of four third culture kids, and an educator, she’s a strong proponent of diverse and holistic approaches to education and life. A self-proclaimed perpetual learner, she never tires of learning more about anything that catches her fancy, and is then all too happy to share her new found knowledge with those around her, including you!
