Publications Update

In addition to essays and announcements (often in English and Arabic) directly related to ACOR's public events, ACOR's blog, Insights, offered three more entries in "Ask a Scholar," a series in which Jacqueline Salzinger presents evocative questions to past and present ACOR fellows about their work. Featured this period were political scientist Prof. Waleed Hazbun, architectural conservator Nedhal Jarrar (also available in Arabic), and ethnomusicologist Melissa J. Scott. In "Arabic in Practice: From Jordan to the Web," Salzinger herself explored a useful selection of sources for learning Arabic online, vital given the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. An essay by Jack Green looked at the effects of the pandemic on archaeological work in Jordan, which will be much in evidence in the next volume of Archaeology in Jordan, to be published in 2022.
