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. 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.
My first book, Parting Gifts of Empire: Palestine and India at the Dawn of Decolonization is forthcoming from the University of California Press in Fall 2025.
