SUMMARY:Survival Politics: Baghdad’s Citizens from Saddam Hussein to the 
 2025 Elections | A Crown Seminar with Alissa Walter
DESCRIPTION:As Iraqis head to the polls in November 2025\, what do the elec
 tions reveal about the country’s struggles over power\, governance\, and
  survival? In Contested City: Citizen Advocacy and Survival in Modern Bagh
 dad\, Alissa Walter\, associate professor of history at Seattle Pacific Un
 iversity\, shows how Iraqis have long negotiated with state officials\, mi
 litias\, and political parties to survive and assert their rights. In this

 r of political science at Boston College\, for a conversation that places 
 the upcoming elections within this longer history—from Saddam Hussein’

 silience of its citizens. Alissa Walter is associate professor of history 
 at Seattle Pacific University. Marsin Alshamary is assistant professor of
