Core Faculty > Sandy Sufian
Dr. Sufian has recently joined the Medical Humanities faculty in the Department of Medical Education at UIC. Before arriving in Chicago, Dr. Sufian held two postdoctoral fellowships: one at Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis (2001-2002) and an AHRQ fellowship at Oregon Health Sciences University/Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (1999-2001). Dr. Sufian has a Ph.D. in Middle East History (NYU 1999) and a masters of public health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics (OHSU 2001). Her research focuses on the history of medicine in the modern Middle East, the history of disability, international and women's health, and the history of social insurance in America. She tries in both her research and courses to integrate historical content and methodology with public health approaches. Dr. Sufian will teach courses on the History of Medicine and Public Health in the 19th and 20th centuries, the History of Disability, Global Health Problems in Historical Perspective and other historical topics at UIC. She is the founder and co-editor of H-Disability, a scholarly listserv that deals with issues in the history of disability. She is presently working to complete her first book manuscript entitled, Healing the Land and the Nation: Malaria and the Zionist project in Mandatory Palestine, 1920-1947.
