Welcome to my website. I got my Ph.D. in History in 2014 from the University of Texas at Austin. In 2015 I joined Penn State’s Department of History and the Jewish Studies program. I am interested in social movements, minorities, and social and cultural history. I study the history of modern Iran and Iranian Jews. I also work on Jewish histories of the Middle East beyond Iran. I teach courses on Iran, the modern Middle East, Jewish histories of the Middle East, Israel-Palestine, and more. Under the resources tab, you can find a couple of recorded talks, recommendations for podcasts and texts, and additional updates. Most links under the publications tab lead to embedded PDFs.
