Dr. Al-Azdee has been published in scholarly journals and in US and Iraqi mass media outlets. His research has been presented at varied academic conferences in the United States, receiving awards from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), the International Communication Association (ICA), the Center for the Study of the Middle East (CSME), and US Department of State. Dr. Al-Azdee is post-modernist, because he focuses on populism, emphasizes diversity, recycles culture, and respects science while acknowledging paradox. He is also post-positivist, because he adopts non-traditional conventions of presentation, analysis, and conclusions to fit both positivist and phenomenological underpinnings.
