industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council region: a visual social semiotic perspective, Social
Semiotics, 33:2, 305-325, https://doi.org/10.1080/10350330.2020.1833686
Although the interlocking of the British Council with wider political and economic activities and
interests is well documented in some parts of the world, precious little has been written on how the
British Council is constructing the reality of the English language as an ‘unstoppable juggernaut’
in parts of the Arab world. This paper scrutinizes the ways through which the British Council is
nourishing the highly acclaimed English Language Teaching industry in the six member Arab states
of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi
Arabia. This issue will be explored through visual social semiotics analysis of nine videos that were
published on the British Council’s six websites of the Gulf Cooperation Council member states to
promote various courses and programs in the region.

Against the backdrop of Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model (PM), this study examines
how consent is manufactured among higher-education faculties in the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) region—a political union comprising six Arab states: Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Specifically, it studies the relevance of the five filters that
comprise the Propaganda Model (i.e., ownership, dependence on revenue, information sourcing,
flak, and convergence in the dominant ideology) to how GCC-based higher-education faculties
engage in behaviors that filter reality to promote and shield the interests of policy makers in the
region. The aim is to scrutinize how GCC faculties are subject to various types of propaganda that
manufacture consent for political, economic, and social agendas at both the local and global levels.

in the Arab World. Higher Education Policy. https://doi.org/10.1057/s41307-023-00305-4
This study explores possible reasons for cancel culture in higher education in the Arab world.
Specifically, through Q methodology, it investigates the perceptions of twenty-one academics of
different nationalities and from different backgrounds working in various universities in the Arab
world as to the causes and their professional experiences of cancel culture. The aim is to contribute
to a necessary discussion of cancel culture and its impacts on Arab higher education, with the hope
of strengthening the region’s academic freedom. The data reveal that several political and social
issues engender cancel culture in Arab universities. In effect, results indicate that academics
working in higher education in the Arab world embrace a ‘culture of safetyism’ to keep themselves,
their students and the societies in which they live ‘emotionally safe’.
