I’ve just moved instances, so I’m redoing my #introductions post! #introduction

I’m a historian. I teach & write about the #MiddleEast with a focus on twentieth-century @iraq

I live in #Seattle & boost local news. I’m #Assyrian.

My first book, City of Black Gold (2019), is a history of Kirkuk - where the #oil industry started in #Iraq - that explains how ethnicity as a political practice grew out of the intersections of colonialism, nation building, urbanization, and #petroleum.

An #Italian - #Kurdish archaeological team is digging all over northern @iraq for ancient layers—including, most recently, in Simele, the site of a massacre of #Assyrian refugees in 1933 that #Iraq still denies. And it's not clear if the archaeologists will preserve evidence of modern human remains they might find. #archaeology @histodons

Jubail Church (Classical Syriac: ܥܕܬܐ ܕܡܕܢܚܐ ܕܐܬܘܖ̈ܝܐ, romanized: ʿĒḏtā ḏ-Maḏnḥā ḏ-ʾĀṯūrāyē, Arabic: كنيسة الجبيل) is a 4th-century church building near Jubail, a city in the Eastern province on the Gulf coast of Saudi Arabia. It is one of the oldest churches in the world.

If #Turkey takes planned 30-km (20-mile) deep “safe zone,”it will include most of the religious & ethnic minorities in NE #Syria per @RojavaIC@twitter.com map.

#Syriac-#Assyrian #Christians, #Yazidis & #Kurds were victims of horrific crimes in past invasions & will be again if not stopped.
