An expert in MENA American histories, cultures, and lived experiences, I work at the intersections of scholarship and policy.
As historian in residence at the Armenian General Benevolent Union, I am researching and writing a new volume of history for this largest and oldest Armenian philanthropy.
​
As faculty in the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory, researcher in NYPL's Vartan Gregorian Center for Research in the Humanities, and Faculty Affiliate at the University of Florida's Center for Arts, Migration + Entrepreneurship, I am revising my first monograph Ambigua Gens: Unmaking and Unseeing the Modern Middle East.
Finally, as a consultant in Los Angeles County's Anti-Racism, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, I am building demographic and data justice policies for the largest county in the country.
I see changing the world as my calling, so please be in touch to discuss how we might together build a world that empowers all of us to be our truest and fullest selves.
