Welcome, and thank you for stopping by.

While I cannot offer you a cup of tea, as is the tradition in my Middle Eastern upbringing, I hope you will enjoy getting to know more about my scholarship.

 

I am an Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern and North African History in the Department of History and Political Science at Norwich University, where I also direct the International Studies program. I earned my Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University in 2021 and subsequently held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Before joining Norwich, I served as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at Columbia University. I also hold an M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies from New York University, an M.A. in Political Science from the City University of New York, and a B.A. in Political Science and International Relations from Boğaziçi University in Istanbul.
