  • Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar
    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

  • The New Qatar National Library and Its Services
    Next Chapter of Knowledge Management in Qatar: The new Qatar National Library and its services Claudia Lux Fifty years ago, 29 December 1962, in Doha, Qatar, the Dar-Al-Kutub – Library was founded in one of the first original library building of the region. The collection based on two libraries the Doha Public Library of 1956, and the Endowment Library, from 1954. The opening collection consisted of 30.000 volumes. (Khalifa, 1992) In the beginning Dar-Al-Kutub, was responsible for school and public libraries for the first 10 years, later these functions changed to public library and national library functions. (Khalifa, 1992). The first Qatar National Bibliography was published in 1970. (Al Nassr, 1993). But only in 1982, the legal deposit law by Emir Decree No. 14 was issued, and more national library functions developed: the collection of publications from Qataris published abroad and the ISBN-Agency of Qatar in 1994. From 1972 onwards the Qatar National Library organized the Qatar Book Fair, an important cultural event for the country and the region. Over the years the national library has served its users with a wide range of collection and activities. Between 1978 and 1985 the branches developed and their libraries filled up with Arab and English books. The Women’s library, with a collection of more than 60.000 volumes introduced educational computer games for Kids and internet in a modern office building, which was changed to become a library. They developed a set of activities with handicapped students from different schools and their new knowledge management is a good example to other public library branches after their facilities are renovated and modernized.

    DOHA FORUM AND QATARDEBATE HOST THE DOHA FORUM: YOUTH EDITION Doha Forum and QatarDebate, a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), today hosted the Doha Forum: Youth Edition at the Education City Student Center. The event was attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson and CEO, Qatar Foundation, and Her Excellency Lolwah Al Khater, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Doha Forum: Youth Edition aims to enhance the debating skills of young people, and engage them in discussions on issues that are trending around the world, in preparation for the 18th Doha Forum, scheduled to be held on December 15-16 in Doha. Focusing on the importance of dialogue in addressing contemporary issues and challenges, the Doha Forum: Youth Edition is one of the most important events in QatarDebate’s 2018 calendar. Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani said: “It has been truly inspiring to listen to the voice of youth being applied to such rigorous, constructive, and insightful dialogue about some of the key issues that our world is experiencing today, and will continue to experience. “The Doha Forum: Youth Edition has focused on topics that are at the center of global discussions, debates, and agendas – the patterns, causes, and impact of mass immigration; and the effects of fake news on how we consume, and perceive, media – and challenged young people to approach them from different standpoints. These issues, and others like them, will impact on their lives and their societies. Through their participation in this event, they will be better equipped to represent the voice of youth in global conversations on topics that truly matter, and to encourage and empower their peers to ensure they also have their say about our world.” In her opening remarks, Her Excellency Lolwah Al Khater, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: “Today we celebrate the launch of Doha Forum’s new edition, the first ever youth edition, in partnership with QatarDebate and Qatar Foundation.

  • Bombardier Test Project Involves Induction Technology Page 1 of 3
    Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 1 of 3 Bombardier test project involves induction technology BY FRANÇOIS SHALOM, THE GAZETTE JANUARY 10, 2013 An artist’s conception of Bombardier’s new electric bus which has its battery recharged through a capacitor under bus stops. MONTREAL — There’s no budget, no timeline, no proven technology, much less shovels in the ground or even a signed contract. But it’s substantially more than an idle dream. Montreal’s Île-Ste-Hélène is scheduled to be the North American test site this year for Bombardier Inc.’s Primove pilot project, a technology that is being tested at four sites in Germany, where the firm’s rail division is based. Primove’s mandate is to develop electric mass-transit propulsion systems, but not the vehicles themselves. Intended to bypass the conventional notion of electric buses and trolley buses powered by cumbersome batteries, Primove rests on an inductive transfer of power from ground-based electrical power sources to very small batteries placed under, not in, the bus. Sensors on the vehicles would store the energy emitted by the electro-magnetic field, but only in small quantities, feeding the bus or trolley sufficiently to reach the next power source a short distance away. The system can charge while the vehicle is in motion or at rest. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=7803624&sponsor= 2/28/2013 Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 2 of 3 “You bury power stations capable of charging rapidly, even instantly — we’re talking seconds — so that you don’t need to resort to (lengthier) conventional power boost systems currently on the market” like hybrid and electric vehicles, said Bombardier Transportation spokesperson Marc Laforge.
