My research and writing focuses the Arab intellectual links with South Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a focus on the history of anti-colonialism, internationalism, and area studies. My current book project is an intellectual history of decolonization.
I received my Ph.D in history from Rice University and my BA from the University of California, Los Angeles. Previously I was a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Davis and a Humanities Research Fellow at NYU Abu Dhabi.
