UT Art History Professor Stephennie Mulder remembers Mosul's rich and diverse past in new article

Associate Professor of Islamic Art and Architecture, Stephennie Mulder, writes for The Conversation in her piece "On Yom Kippur, remembering Mosul’s rich and diverse past." Mulder is a specialist in Islamic art, architectural history, and archaeology, working on the conservation of antiquities and cultural heritage sites endangered by war and illegal trafficking as a consultant for SHOSI, the Saving the Heritage of Syria and Iraq initiative. She writes, "...for those of us outside Iraq, who today know Mosul largely through newspaper stories of war and intolerance, the loss of these sites will make it that much harder to imagine the diverse intellectual and religious world that once characterized not only Mosul but all of the Middle East."
