Menu Welcome Today in History Reading Lists Transcripts Blog Islamic History Ibn Battuta Welcome Hello. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Derek Davison and I’m a writer and analyst who deals primarily in US foreign policy and the Middle East. I’ve spent several years studying those subjects, and it’s been my privilege to share what I know and my perspectives on world events for the past several years at outlets including, LobeLog, Jacobin, Alhurra TV, Newsy, and on a variety of podcasts.
For many years one of the main outlets for my writing was here at WordPress, on a blog called “and that’s the way it was.” Nowadays I’m producing a newsletter covering international affairs and US foreign policy at Substack, called Foreign Exchanges . There you’ll find all of the content I used to produce here: world news updates, stories from Islamic history, guest pieces, podcasts, and exclusive content for subscribers including essays and weekly “ask me anything” discussions.
