My article “Intimate Technologies of Family Making” is hot off the press. So much support, love, and care by many friends and colleagues wrapped around this small contribution to the history of reproductive health. doi-org.proxy.library.upenn.edu/10.1353/bhm.20…

If you understand Arabic, this is one of the best lectures I've heard in recent years. It's by Prof. @LotfiaissaLotfi on the approaches to writing the comparative history of the Maghreb! youtube.com/watch?v=YNxcMn…

If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch.

with Halloween approaching it’s a time of ghouls and goblins. The ghoul actually comes from the Arabic ghul. A ghul is a type of shapeshifting jinn famed in places like North Africa for luring humans into the desert and eating them! They’re said to frequent cemeteries

Educating my community about the power of context and perspective in understanding past and present events. It’s not just what happened, but why. Loved seeing the audience embrace this layered view during my talk, “Beyond the Surface.” They made it a truly memorable experience!💗

This is a striking moment but it isn’t the damning moment for Muslims & Arabs as many may think it is - it is the sign of the demise of the Democratic Party, even in its ability to maintain optics. And optics are at the core of politics. A thread 🧵

AN HONOR, THANK YOU!
