Welcoming New Expertise & Celebrating Our Community
We are thrilled to introduce Sarah Mousa as our new Senior Editor. Her deep understanding of the Middle East and North Africa, coupled with her extensive editorial experience, will be invaluable as we shape our magazine and expand our online content.

Simultaneously, we extend our sincere gratitude to Alyssa Bivins and Michael Kaplan. Thes dedicated doctoral students from George Washington University provided crucial support to our editorial team for several years.
They were integral to our production process, and while they’ve had to step back from their roles recently, we wish them the very best in their future endeavors.
Maintaining a vibrant and informative publication like ours relies on the generosity of our readers.Your support allows us to continue delivering cutting-edge analysis without paywalls. Along with our new and returning colleagues, we’re looking forward to this next chapter.
Honoring a Legacy: remembering Joe Stork
Join us next month for a special event at Busboys and Poets (450 K Street, Washington, D.C.) as we honor the life and legacy of Joe Stork.
We’ll be remembering our co-founder and longtime editor, who passed away a year ago. Longtime contributors and colleagues will share their reflections on joe’s profound impact on our work, human rights advocacy, and Middle East politics.
Here’s what works best when remembering influential figures: creating a space for shared memories and celebrating their lasting contributions.
