She is equally interested in the social and political history of the cuneiform cultures of ancient Iraq, 5000–2000 years ago and the construction of knowledge about ancient Iraq in over the past two centuries. Her Mathematics in Ancient Iraq: A Social History (2008) won the History of Science Society’s Pfizer Prize in 2011. With UK and Iraqi colleagues she runs the AHRC/GCRF-funded Nahrein Network (2017–21), which fosters the sustainable development of history, heritage and the humanities in Iraq and its neighbours.
