I am a historian, memoirist, anthologist, biographer, and professor of Near Eastern Studies. My work, with a primary focus on Minorities and Contemporary Middle Eastern History and History of Ideas and Political Thought, also sits at the intersections of History and Philology, intruding on the Literary, Linguistic, Cultural, and Intellectual Traditions of the States of the Levant. My most recent book is a memoir of Lebanon's Jewish community (Palgrave-Macmillan 2019.) My current book project is an intellectual biography of Lebanese-Belgian Jesuit Henri Lammens (1862-1937.)
