Edi M. Shukriu (born 1950) is a Kosovar political figure, archaeologist, and writer.
Biography
A native of Prizren, Shukriu received a master's degree in archaeology from the University of Belgrade in 1972; in October 1990 she finished her doctorate in the same discipline at the University of Pristina. First employed by the Kosovo Museum, she then taught archaeology in Pristina. In 1989 she joined the Democratic League of Kosovo, in whose foreign relations she took a role. From 1995 until 2000 she chaired its women's forum, and she was also a member of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo for the party. Shukriu has written a number of verse collections and plays, as well as several non-fiction works.[1] Among the first Kosovar women to publish poetry in Albanian, she graduated from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 2005. She has continued to teach archaeology and ancient history at the University of Pristina.[2]
