About
Dr. Annie Greene is a Postdoctoral fellow in Middle East History at the University of Utah. Her scholarship focuses on late-nineteenth century and early-twentieth century cultural and intellectual production in the Ottoman Arab provinces in general, and Iraq in particular. Her current book project Men of the Pen, Men of the Page examines shifting multilingual networks of print, neoclassical poetry, and traces Ottoman civic provincial participation as part of the Nahda (Arab cultural revival) in Iraq. She is also interested in gender histories of the Islamic world and histories of nondominant religious communities.
