Research interests: I work on nineteenth-and twentieth-century workers’ movements and labor law in five Arab jurisdictions. My work incorporates the following aspects: Gender and sexuality at work. Workers’ Individualities vs. workers’ collectivities Industrialization and modern work League of Nations’ mandate states and the International Labor Organization Orientalism in modernist literature (Arab, European, Soviet). Secularism and secularist political parties in the Arab world. Current research project: The European University Institute (Florence, Italy) sponsored a workshop that I chaired with economist Nadji Khaoui (Annaba, Algeria) on “Workers’ Movements and Nationalism in the Arab World,” as part of this past year’s Mediterranean Research Program. During the workshop, over a dozen internationally recognized scholars offered compelling insights from Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, the Sudan, and Yemen; we plan to publish these research reports shortly. Past research: My first book, Imperialism on Trial: League of Nations Mandate States in Historical Perspective (Rowman and Littlefield, 2006), I edited with Ray Douglas and Michael Callahan. This project started during a NEH Summer Seminar on “Decolonization of the British Empire” which took place at the University of Texas during 2000; Wm. Roger Louis chaired our panel with the same title at the 2002 AHA annual meeting.
