Ali Ahmida featured in Courier interview

Ahmida, who was recently named as the UNE Ludcke Chair of Liberal Arts and Sciences for 2010-11, explained that scholarship is a "passion, this is the way I was trained and educated. I love doing research. I try to see both teaching and scholarship as linked and not separate."
