Biography

Prior to Cambridge I taught history at a private school in Vermont, studied in India, worked in public policy, and volunteered on an archaeology project in the Caribbean. I am in the final year of my PhD in Social Anthropology. I did my fieldwork in the USA in an Arab-American Christian community. Religious identity, social memory, and perceptions of the past are some of the issues I focus on in my work. My goal is to pursue a career in academia after completing my PhD.
