🧵1/ As part of this issue we did an analysis of over 10,000 articles of journals with Middle East in the title published since the 1950s. The idea was to see how the Gulf fit in in the 'discursive production of the Middle East'. #GulfStudies #menasky

Thanks to all the new followers + whoever referred you here :) I don’t tweet a lot these days. I’ve been focused on leading talks + facilitations w/ P2P organizations, colleges, community groups. I post events + RT sometimes, but prefer in-person to social media. My website has my stuff, or email me
