She completed her PhD in History & Middle East Studies at CMES in 2005.

Had you always had an interest in getting a PhD, and focusing on the history of the Middle East?
By the end of my sophomore year at MIT, I knew I wanted to become a historian, despite having dreamt since age 13 of coming to MIT to become a mathematician or a biologist.

That changed when I met Professor Afsaneh Najmabadi (currently Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and chair of the Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard).

She was not yet a professor at Harvard but lived in Cambridge. I also took a class at MIT with Professor John Dower on Japanese history, and I fell in love with the field.
