Welcome!

I am currently Lead Historian at the Armenian General Benevolent Union, and affiliate faculty in the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory, and Center for Arts, Migration, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Florida. Previously, I was Fulbright US Teaching Scholar in the History Department at the American Univeristy in Cairo, and received degrees from Yale, NYU and George Washington University.

An appreciation for diversity, and especially marginalized forms of difference is at the core of my scholarship, teaching and unflagging commitment to service and activism.  I see changing minds and driving institutional change around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as my calling, and am committed to building a world that empowers all of us to be our truest and fullest selves.
