Liat Kozma

My publications deal with feminism in contemporary Morocco, marginalized women in nineteenth-century Egypt, and medical discourses on sexuality in both the Jewish Yishuv and in early twentieth-century Arab societies. I also published several articles about the traffic in drugs, and particularly cannabis, in the early twentieth-century Middle East. I am particularly interested in the international movement of people, merchandise and ideas during the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, and the interwar Middle East.
