Ph.D. Student
I am a Ph.D. student in MENAS. My research concentration is in early 20th century history, focusing on personal accounts of the First World War and Post-war era in Arab lands of the Ottoman Empire. I examined aspects of this in my MA Thesis "Post World War I Navigation of Imperialism, Identity, and Nationalism in the 1919-1920 Memoir entries of Ottoman Army officer Taha al-Hashimi."
