I interned at CEMAT for a good portion of my stay in Tunisia. CEMAT is the Center for Research of the Maghreb in Tunis. It’s an American research institution. I enjoyed my time there and learned a great deal about the inner workings of a research center and about scholarly research in a foreign country.
