Dima Mohammed (PhD in Humanities, 2009, Universiteit van Amsterdam) is senior research fellow at IFILNOVA and adjunct assistant professor of communication at the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL). Dima's main academic expertise is in argumentation theory, at the intersection of philosophy and communication. Her research examines the complexities of public political arguments and the challenges they pose, with a focus on the workings of argumentation in challenging conditions, such as situations characterised by populism, hate speech, polarisation and deep disagreements. Over the years, Dima has studied argumentative practices in a diversity of contexts: formal institutional ones, such as Parliaments (UK, EU and Portugal) and presidential speeches (USA), as well as less formal ones, such as (social) media discussions (e.g. Arab Spring, terrorism, #Me-Too, the 2022 Ukraine war). Beyond research, she has also taught argumentation, rhetoric and persuasion, communication and media as well as critical thinking in universities in Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada and in Palestine. At the NOVA Institute of Philosophy, Dima is coordinator of the Argumentation, Cognition and Language Lab (ArgLab), and member of the Institute's scientific council and executive committee. Dima is also member of the Faculty Council of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL). Beyond the UNL, she is active member of several editorial boards (e.g. Journal of Argumentation in Context, Argumentation and Advocacy), academic associations and initiatives (e.g. the Board of Directors of the Association for Informal Logic and Critical Thinking, the Steering Committee of the European Conference on Argumentation) and regularly serves in international juries and commissions of trust (e.g. the Blair Prize Committee, OSSA 10 & OSSA 13). Before joining the UNL, Dima was lecturer at the Department of Speech Communication, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric at the University of Amsterdam, NL, and researcher and programme manager at the Institute of Communication and Health at the University of Lugano, CH. Dima hold a BA in English Linguistics and Literature from the University of Birzeit, Palestine, and an MA in Logic, Language and Argumentation and a PhD in Humanities, both from the University of Amsterdam, NL.
