Carter Barnett was awarded a Fulbright PhD Research Fellowship to pursue his project, “Beyond Medicine:  The Mission Hospitals of Ottoman/Mandatory Palestine, 1850-1950,” under the mentorship of Professor Liat Kozma at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His project investigates how patients, Christian missionaries, and colonial officials used and understood mission hospitals in nineteenth and twentieth-century Palestine. This work builds on existing scholarships in the social history of medicine to incorporate a diversity of historical perspectives beyond medicalization narratives prone to simplification. Rather than solely attributing the proliferation of mission hospitals to medical efficacy or colonial intervention, his project evaluates the paradoxical hospitality of missionary institutions. Carter received his BA in history and Arabic from Baylor University and an MA in Middle Eastern studies from the University of Texas at Austin where he completed the dual language track in Arabic and modern Hebrew. He is currently a PhD candidate researching the history of religion, healing, and hospital care in the Department of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University.
