Cancer History Project

"Created to mark the 50th anniversary of the National Cancer Act of 1971, the Cancer History Project is a free historical resource that places—in perpetuity—a vast, expertly curated collection of primary sources and authoritative interpretations within easy reach of researchers, medical professionals, students, policy-makers, and patients. The CHP is a new way of preserving history: collaboratively curated by the institutions and people who shaped it. The Project draws on the expertise of an editorial board of physicians, scientists, advocates, and communicators and is operated by The Cancer Letter, the longest-running oncology news publication." I (Julie Poucher Harbin) was responsible for setting up the portal and uploading most of the Duke Cancer Institute content to the portal.

ISLAMiCommentary & TIRN at Duke/DISC

Here is a selection of articles from ISLAMiCommentary & TIRN — the online homes of the Carnegie Corporation of New York-supported Transcultural Islam Project. I (Julie Poucher Harbin) was managing editor of these sites, chief writer, and curator/editor. Included in this collection are articles that I wrote, co-wrote, or curated/edited. The Transcultural Islam Project was a multi-year initiative (2012-2016) led by the Duke Islamic Studies Center at Duke University in collaboration with the UNC-Chapel Hill Carolina Center for the Study of the Middle East and Muslim Civilizations and initially the Oxford (University) Centre for Islamic Studies. There are also links in this collection to original reporting and press releases that I contributed to Duke University news (Duke Today) during this time, as well as links to other websites that mirrored, cited, or recognized ISLAMiCommentary & TIRN content.

Duke Public Policy/Political Science

This collection includes articles, including commentaries and feature stories, that I (Julie Poucher Harbin) wrote or edited for the Duke Islamic Studies Center-based ISLAMiCommentary and TIRN blogs and websites connected with political science, public policy, and foreign policy. Featuring prominently here are public policy, political science, foreign policy, religion, sociology, history, and anthropology faculty from Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, Princeton University, and other universities, as well as thought leaders from the U.S. Government, the Public Religion Research Institute, the Zogby polling company, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Center for American Progress, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and others. The collection also includes press releases and 'newstips' I wrote that were distributed by the Duke University Communications office to media. I've also included articles on these themes that I wrote for Religion News Service (mirrored by RNS subscribers including the Washington Post and others) while I was still working at Duke.
