Thesis title: Romanticism, Oriental History, and the Literary Construction of Occidental Identity: Gender, Religion, and Liberty.
Supervisor: Professor Ros Ballaster
I finished my DPhil in English in 2025. I am an Oxford-Qatar Thatcher Graduate alumna and a Fulbright alumna. My research interests include Romanticism, Orientalism, and names and onomastics. I am interested in the historical traces of the Orient and Islam in Romantic texts, with particular attention to female historical figures. I am also interested in the interconnections between history, politics, and literature.
