About Me

I am a visiting assistant professor at the College of William and Mary, offering courses in Middle East History.

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of the University of Chicago. My dissertation “Provincial, Not Peripheral: Ottoman-Iraqi Intellectuals and Cultural Networks, 1863-1914,” investigates the integration of Ottoman-Iraqi intellectuals in overlapping local, regional, and imperial Ottoman and Arab cultural and political networks. I argue that these intellectuals wrote themselves into the social discussions of the time and were active in the Ottoman parliament, as fellow imperial citizens and cultural interlocutors. I held a fellowship in the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania where I specialized on the cultural and intellectual history of late Ottoman Iraq, in general, and the Ottoman-Iraqi Jewish community, in particular. I examined the multiple affiliations of the nineteenth-century Ottoman-Iraqi Jewish community.
