ABOUT
I am a doctoral candidate in the department of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies (MESAAS) and the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society (ICLS) at Columbia University. My disciplinary focus cuts across religious studies, Islamic and comparative political theory and the philosophy of nature. I work primarily with classical Arabic, Persian, French and English texts. My dissertation examines the relation between occasionalism and theories of sovereignty in medieval Islam and 17th century Europe.
