About
My research focuses on early and classical Islamic history, particularly the development of Sunni and Shi'i socio-religious boundaries in those periods. I am interested in the ways in which the construction of historical narratives reflect and influence the scope and meaning of cultural symbols related to gender, identity, and authority.
