The 2025 Georgetown University Perinatal Symposium
Introduction and Purpose: The perinatal period is a crucial time for the health and well-being of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum individuals, infants, families, and their communities. However, deep structural and social inequities, including racism and other forms of discrimination, impact access to, utilization of, and quality of perinatal care. These inequities contribute to worsening maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the United Sta…
Postpartum Health Disparities During the Birth Hospitalization in the United States
Acceptability and Barriers to Use of the Asman Provider-Facing Electronic Platform for Peripartum Care in Public Facilities in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, India
The evolving field of mobile health (mHealth) is revolutionizing collection, management, and quality of clinical data in health systems. Particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), mHealth approaches for clinical decision support and record-keeping offer numerous potential advantages over paper records and in-person training and supervision. We conducted a content analysis of qualitative in-depth interviews using the Technology Acce…

HIV-prevention interventions targeting men having sex with men in Africa
The HIV prevalence rate among men who have sex with men in Africa is high, yet a limited number of prevention interventions target this vulnerable group. The study aims to explore factors affecting the design and implementation of HIV-prevention interventions for men who have sex with men in Cameroon using Alternatives-Cameroun as a case study. It further examines the context in which these interventions are created and implemented. Operating in …
Masculinity and male sexual behaviour in Mozambique
Like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Mozambique is facing a severe HIV epidemic. Evidence suggests that male sexual behaviour is one of the driving forces behind the epidemic. Yet, there is limited understanding of how notions of masculinity influence such behaviour in the context of HIV. Using data collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with sexually active men and women, this paper investigates how notions of ma…
Reflections on the Meaning of Palestine
This essay addresses the Palestine question within a European context. After reflecting on why Palestine has been widely embraced as a "universal cause," the author explores its relationship to the "Jewish question" in the changed context following World War II: Whereas prior to the war it was the Jews who were perceived as a threat to European civilization, today it is the Muslim immigrants who have the scapegoat role. Also discussed are philose…
The Free Officers and the Comrades
Africa's largest country, Sudan, is first and foremost part of the Arab world, sensitive to the political tides that sweep the Arab peoples from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf. Like other members of the Arab League, Sudan was taken by surprise by the defeat of 1967. It was shaken by the tidal wave that later engulfed Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, and on May 25, 1969, a military regime took over in Khartoum. Its ideology was Arab nationalism …
The West's Selective Reading of Eastern History and Values
Shortly after the First World War, the French literary critic and historian Henri Massis (1886-1970) preached a crusade against the dangers threatening European values and thought - largely identified with those of France, in his mind. He wasn't entirely misguided: across the world, colonised nations were in revolt. He wrote: "The future of western civilisation, of humanity itself, is now under threat... Every traveller, every foreigner who has s…
Russia's Return to the Middle East
Russia's Return to the Middle East
Since the eastward expansion of NATO dashed Moscow's early hopes of being integrated into the West, Russia has pursued an independent foreign policy focused mainly on Central Asia and the Middle East, including "rogue" states shunned by Washington. Among Russia's advantages are tens of thousands of Arabic-speaking former Soviet experts and a growing regional anti-Americanism. At the same time, Russian Muslims are becoming more assertive. Russia's…
The Legacy of Desert Storm
This essay argues that the Gulf War, far from instituting a new regional order, has contributed to an imbalance in the region that could lead to further instability. A crumbling social fabric in Iraq, Kurdish fighting in the north, an intensification of the Kurdish war in Turkey, "impoverishment" of the Gulf dynasties, rising militarization of the region, and a reversal of the democratization trends of the beginning of the decade are all part of …
