Exploring the Communal beyond the “Copts and Muslims Paradigm”
This article considers the place of Egypt’s Coptic Christian community in modern Egyptian historiography. Reviewing scholarly literature on Egypt’s colonial period (1882–1956) reveals an overall trend to obscure and ignore Coptic communal experiences that are both distinct and intertwined with the trajectory of Egyptian national history. I highlight the common trope within scholarly literature to primarily refer to Copts in the phrase “Copts and …
“A Friend of God and the Poor Wretched Blacks”
This article explores narratives of slavery written by Christian missionaries in the Nile Valley in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

This prompted controversy in the community, as supporter…

Local knowledge registers prominently in scholarly efforts to resolve environmental problems, ushering in widespread use of participatory practices of deliberation. Without the incorporation of local knowledge, many scholars contend that environmental science and planning remain beholden to the unbridled reign of the expert, and the daunting complexity of environmental problems remains seemingly impossible to penetrate. Following in this vein of …
