His fields of research and teaching are comparative politics of the Middle East with a focus on issues related to political economy, contentious politics, spatialization of politics. Much of his research and writing focuses on modern Iran and the Persian Gulf.</p><p>His 2024 book, "Making Space For the Gulf: Histories of Regionalism and the Middle East," reveals how for over a century capitalism, empire-building, geopolitics, and urbanism have conditioned and been shaped by different understandings of the Persian Gulf as a region. From this vantage point the Gulf comes into view as a mutable, unbounded space and a dynamic assemblage of social relations, rather than a fixed object, timeless national territory, or civilizational boundary. His approach reveals how the Gulf has been globalized through transnational relations, regionalized as a geopolitical category, and cleaved along myriad national divisions and enduring inequalities.</p><p>For more please visit <a href="www.securityincontext.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.securityincontext.org</a> or follow us on X <a href="https://x.com/SecurityContext" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@SecurityContext</a></p>
