This article narrates the story behind launching @IWAN_Iraq. Why did we start and how challenging it is to retain solidarity among female academics from the global South.

@ZahraSociology writes about how knowledge about #Iraq has been produced,suggesting Iraq as a framework, rather than a case study, examining the epistemic violence shaped by western academia against Iraq.
‘Politicizing Ethics: Decolonizing Research on Iraq’ for Duke University

[Zahra Ali زهراء علي @ZahraSociology]

To #decolonize #research, we need to politicize "#ethics", and truly imagine and work towards a radically different way to "make" knowledge. In this article, I take research on #Iraq as a framework (not a case study) to rethink research today.
