Abstract
We are a team of female Iraqi academics of different disciplinary, and generational backgrounds, based in different locations (Irada and Inass in Baghdad; Huda in Amman and Nadje, the half-Iraqi in London). We all have very different life experiences and relations to Iraq. Irada is both an academic in media studies but also an established writer; Huda is an economist; Inass a political scientist and Nadje, the PI of the team, is an anthropologist specializing in gender studies. All of us are also involved in women’s rights and wider civil society activism. What brought us together is passion for our work and a commitment to bring about change for the better.
