Adey Almohsen

I study the history of critique, ideas, and print culture in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) from the late eighteenth century to the present. My research and teaching interests include: modern MENA history, politics, and cultures; intellectual and literary histories of the Arab world; histories of Palestine, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli conflict; modernisms, nationalisms, and radicalisms in the Arab and Third worlds; intellectual histories of the long 19th and long 20th centuries; the Nahda and the history of critique in the Arab world; Arabic poetry; modern Islamic thought; histories of Orientalism, postcolonial studies, and Palestinian studies; and twentieth century Arab-American thought.
