Field

Modern Iranian Intellectual History, Gender, Colonialism

Research Interests

My research investigates the intersection of gender, spirituality, and European colonialism in the emergence of modern Iranian nationalism. Specifically, I analyze the progression and interaction of these tensions in the voluminous compositions of Iranian philologists living in Europe in the early twentieth century.
