2. Our Yemen Syllabus contains lists of journalists, academics, and analysts who have worked and published on #Yemen (in English). You can find their Twitter accounts curated on the syllabus, as well as some of their recommended publications.

3. Always a recommendation, Paul Dresch’s book “A History of Modern Yemen” is a definitive read for anyone seeking to understand pre-2011 #Yemen - as is @DrSarahPhillips’ “Yemen and the Politics of Permanent Crisis.”

4. Anyone interested in the Yemen Civil War of the 1960’s should look no further than @AsherOrkaby’s “Beyond the Arab Cold War,” which provides a comprehensive account of the Civil War and a historical window into understanding the conflict of today.

5. Another recommendation, @noelmeb’s “Hadhramaut and its Diaspora:
Yemeni Politics, Identity and Migration” offers an intriguing account of the Hadhrami people's place in Yemeni politics and in the region as whole.

6. Those looking to learn more about #Soqotra will want to try Nathalie Peutz’ book “Islands of Heritage: Conservation and Transformation in Yemen,” on how notions of cultural and linguistic heritage added to Socotrans calls for political change during the Yemeni revolution.

7. In their excellent ”Sunni Islamist Reconfiguration and Sectarian Polarization in Wartime Yemen,” @LaurentBonnefoy and Abdulsalam al-Rubaidi examines the construction of Sunni-Shia polarization and the reshuffling of Sunni Islamist political actors.

8. On the topic of peace and diplomacy in #Yemen, @CrisisGroup convincingly argues for a more inclusive negotiating table in “Rethinking Peace in Yemen” - a sentiment echoed by @peterjsalisbury in his paper “The International Approach To The Yemen War: Time For A Change?”

9. The potential makeup of a post-war Yemeni state is expertly examined by @maysaashujaa in her paper “Federalism in Yemen,” and by Helen Lackner and @raimanhamdani in “War and Pieces: Political divides in southern Yemen.”

14. Our Syllabus also includes excellent insights on environmental issues, such as @DanielMVarisco’s examination of #Yemen’s water crisis, “Pumping Yemen Dry: A History of Yemen’s Water Crisis,”...

15. … as well as @YEryani’s environmental bulletins titled “Oil Extraction Industries’ Impacts on Health, Livelihoods and the Environment in Hadramawt” and “How Weak Urban Planning, Climate Change and War are Magnifying Floods and Natural Disasters.”

16. #Yemen is currently home to the Middle East’s most severe #humanitarian crisis. Tufts University’s Feinstein International Center, @MSF_Crash, @mercycorps and @ACAPSproject shed light through their own publications on the challenges facing the delivery of humanitarian aid.

17. Anyone with an interest in Yemeni gender issues would do well not to miss Amel Nejib al-Ashtal’s chapter in “Mapping Arab Women’s Movements,” as it provides an excellent historical overview of #Yemen’s much-overlooked women’s movements.

18. For an account on how dissenting women are harassed, imprisoned and otherwise targeted by #Houthi authorities, see Isabel Debre’s powerful piece “Women who dare dissent targeted for abuse by Yemen’s rebels.”
