ABOUT
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre, part of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge. My current project, titled Gernika as Orient: Bombs, Art & Fake News, is supported by British Academy & Marie Sklodowska Curie postdoctoral fellowships. Previously I lectured in International History at the University of Toronto and spent two years at Stanford as a Research Affiliate of the Abbasi Institute for Islamic Studies. I completed my doctorate at Oxford, where I also taught various subjects in modern Middle Eastern History & Politics. My forthcoming book is titled 'East of Empire: Egypt, India, and the World between the Wars'.
