Greetings! I had hoped to begin this column with a postmortem to the COVID pandemic, but that may have to wait. Yet there are many reasons for optimism. A year ago, we had hoped that the pandemic would be sufficiently behind us to plan our international meeting in Białystok, which we were then forced to cancel. We can now look forward to doing so with confidence. A year ago, our office in New York was closed to visitors, as was the city itself. Today we are preparing to restore normal business operations and to welcome you again to our facilities. Meetings of the PIASA board have been held virtually since March 2020. We can now think about the restoration of in-person gatherings.

abstract:In the first half of the twentieth century, American missionary nurses, working under the auspices of the Presbyterian Mission to Iran, established areas of educational innovation within mission medicine and Iranian health care. Drawing on Presbyterian mission records, this article considers missionary nurses' efforts to cultivate international nursing standards in Iran between 1916, when they opened their first nursing school, and 1947, when they launched an institute of higher education for nurses. From the outset their mission was to develop the nursing profession and "produce fine nurses for Iran." In effect, they proselytized for the nursing profession. For twenty years they operated the only nursing schools in the country. This article argues that missionary nurses' commitment to nursing professionalism facilitated Iranian nursing nationalism. It also reveals that some Iranian women took advantage of mission nursing schools to advance their education and cultivate prominent nursing careers.

abstract:British women have hitherto been almost absent from the history of British colonialism in the Middle East, and particularly in Mandate Palestine (1918–48). By using an individual tale of a British nurse as a vantage point, the article explores the personal and professional experiences of British nurses in Mandate Palestine and scrutinizes their contested status. As women, as British, as medical practitioners, and specifically as nurses, British nurses present a singular type of local-level imperial agent who confronted multiple challenges to their identities. Empowered as imperial agents of health, biomedicine, and hygiene, they had exercised professional, cultural, and racial authority over indigenous people. At the same time, their gender, vocation, and marital status have limited their scope of influence within a male-dominated medical hierarchy, as well as locate them at the lower strata of British colonial society. Nurses' tales thus offer a unique perspective for investigating colonial power relations and the intersections of medicine, gender, race, and class.
