The Maghreb Review, Vol. 46, 3, 2021 © The Maghreb Review 2021 This publication is printed on FSC Mix paper from responsible sources BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ABSTRACTS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE THESES ON MOROCCO CURATED AND EDITED BY MOHAMED BEN-MADANI INTRODUCTION The following theses abstracts in English language on Morocco presented in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, the Netherlands and Canadian Universities covering all fields of research, are published here for the benefit of interested scholars, students and librarians who wish to discover what has been done in these Universities. These abstracts have not been included in any bibliographical work in the past and are arranged in Alphabetical order. Some theses included here are comparatively short (as few as 92 pages!) and beg the question as to how closely supervised they were and how stringent the criteria are for awarding a PhD in some institutions. We have published bibliographical work of English language theses abstracts presented in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canadian universities on Algeria from 1945 to the present day, Libya from 1936 to the present day, Maghreb from 1978 to the present day, Mauritania from 1965 to the present day, Morocco from 1928 to the present day, and Tunisia from 1952 to the present day. We have also devoted special issues of theses abstracts to Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia covering all fields of research in the following volumes: Algeria: Vol. 7. 3-4, 1982, pp. 94-96; Vol. 27. 2-4, 2002, pp. 114-395; Vol. 44, 1, 2019, pp. 112-142. Libya: Vol. 12, I-2, 1987, 54-61; Vol. 23. l-4, l998; Vol. 43. 3, 2018, pp, 211352 Maghreb: Vol. 21. 3-4, 1995, pp. 298-341; Vo1. 22. 3-4, 1997, pp. 251-98; Vol. 28. 1, 2003, pp.119-122; Vol. 26. 1, 2001, pp.82-92. Morocco: Vol. 21. l-2. 1996, pp. 95-233; Vol. 26. 2-4, 2001; Vol. 38, 2, 2013, pp. 99-239; Vol, 40. 4, 2015, pp. 515-519; Vol. 42. 4, 2017, pp. 461-472. Mauritania: Vol 24. 1-2, 1999; Vol. 36. 3-4, 2011, pp. 329-56. Tunisia: Vol. 24. 3-4, 1999, pp. 128-268.

Abraham, Traci H, Struggling Toward al-Andalus: An Exploration of Attitudes in Andalusia Toward Immigration from Morocco, PhD, University of Connecticut, 2011 For centuries, impoverished Andalusians from southern Spain have emigrated to the New World, northern Europe and northern Spain as both immigrants and guest workers. Spain’s transition to democracy and increasing affluence, which preceded wide-scale, rapid immigration in the 1980s, have changed this historical region of emigration forever. Today, Andalusia receives immigrants from Latin America, northern Europe, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia – with Moroccans representing one of the largest immigrant groups. Research completed in Spain to date indicates that immigrants from Morocco generally experience social and economic marginalization, and many scientific observers posit that this may be rooted in the historical and cultural context of Spain; specifically, the centuries long animosities between Catholics and Muslims on the peninsula. However, while many studies have quantitatively measured the attitudes of Spaniards toward immigration and immigrants, quantitative survey questionnaires that measured attitudes are not designed to explore cultural-type data, and so the salience of the cultural and historic contexts in informing and framing immigration from Morocco, although widely theorized, has remained unclear. ^ This research investigates how the macro-, meso- and micro-level context(s) of Andalusia inform and structure the way that immigration is framed in Andalusia. It moves beyond merely theorizing about the role of culture in informing attitudes by systematically exploring the shared meanings embedded in participants’ narratives about immigration and immigration-related issues...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
