Medical Education and the Making of Iraqi Doctors, 1869-1959
The Tongue of Empire
Laura Frances Goffman. Disorder and Diagnosis
Pox and Proximities
This article conceptualizes Iraq's medical diplomatic missions as inter-Asian linkages that rested on solidarity movements, professional networks, and the commitments of medical experts. It traces the machinations of Iraq's medical diplomacy, specifically the agendas and processes of advancing health care as humanitarian aid at a time when social unrest and outbreaks of infectious diseases led to mass inoculation and biosurveillance programs supp…
Inventing Young Offenders
This article traces the emergence of juvenile delinquency as a legal and medical category in Hashemite Iraq (1921–58). We argue that as children and youth became increasingly visible through actions and inactions that highlighted the weaknesses of political and social structures, state institutions adopted international frameworks and vernaculars concerning the participation of youth in labor. Medicine played a key role in defining the “juvenile”…
Iraq’s archive fever
This article contemplates Iraq’s archive fever, a repositioning of Freud’s death-drive as prescribed by Jacques Derrida, to contextualize the feverish obsession with Iraq’s archives. It promotes a grammar to describe the ways in which western institutions have consistently legitimized the dismembering of Iraqi archives in order to oversee and profit from digitization projects. This process is an orientalist pursuit to command Iraq’s history throu…

Women Doctors and the Medical Profession in Iraq during the First Half of the Twentieth Century
This article explores the history of Iraqi women’s participation in the medical profession as accredited physicians in the first half of the twentieth century. It begins with a discussion of women’s exclusion from late Ottoman medical education faculties and their reliance on lay practice as a form of medical training. Women’s ascension in the medical profession was further thwarted by colonial accreditation requirements and a series of laws that…
Resistance, resilience and recovery
This piece presents an exploration of the conditions of the remaining archives and libraries in Nineveh in the aftermath of Islamic State (IS). Civilians preserved, recovered and restored important sources and libraries that were at risk of being looted or destroyed by IS or damaged or lost during the 2016 liberation campaign
On Frantz Fanon
Frantz Fanon (1925–1961) was a Martinique-born psychiatrist, theorist, philosopher, playwright, and a leading political actor and figure in the struggle for decolonization. Between the publication of his two best-known works, Black Skin, White Masks (Peau Noire, Masques Blancs), in 1952 and The Wretched of the Earth (Les Damnés de la Terre) in 1961, Fanon defended his medical thesis in Paris, was a resident psychiatrist at the Blida-Joinville Hos…
Huna Baghdad ’
This article examines the formative years of the first television station in the Middle East and the Arab World: Baghdad Television. The Hashemite Monarchy recognized television’s potential as an effective tool of reconciliation with an increasingly disenchanted population and a means for homogenization and knowledge production. However, the professionals responsible for maintaining television came from social and economic backgrounds that suffer…
