About Le Anne Clausen Expertise I can answer questions about human rights work as a vocation, human rights as they pertain to the Middle East and/or Muslim world, particularly Palestine/Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan. While in Iraq, I helped to investigate prisoner abuses, including those at Abu Ghraib. I can also answer questions on women's rights in the Middle East. I cannot give you legal advice.
Experience I was a human rights worker for four years in the Middle East, including Palestine, Israel, and Iraq. I also participated in a human rights delegation to Afghanistan in summer 2005. I have an MA in Christian-Muslim relations, with special study on women's issues; I also worked one year for an Arab women's grassroots human rights organization. I am currently working to build an interfaith peace-teams based human rights organization
Publications "Be the Healers" (considering next steps for addressing the Abu Ghraib scandal), July 2004 edition, "The Lutheran" magazine.

Question Hi there! I would like to publish my thesis: "Human rights violations in psychiatric hospitals in Egypt". I dont know anything about academic journals though...like which ones are the best/most reputable etc. I did a web search but I still wouldnt know. can you give me any tips or maybe even a list of the best I can aim for? thanks!
Answer Greetings Nada! Your thesis sounds wonderful. I recently completed a chaplaincy internship in a psychiatric unit, and am now studying psychopathology and pastoral care/theology/spiritual counseling. I'd love to read your work sometime! Or, if you're looking for continuing your education, you may enjoy our program at Chicago Theological Seminary (www.ctschicago.edu).
Here are a few journals that I believe to be of sound quality; I'll let you look at them to see if they will suit your needs (all of these came up when using Google search for 'journal of human rights')
--Good luck!
peace, Le Anne
