In addition to books and articles, I write about historical research and scholarly advocacy in online spaces. Mostly, these pieces are in conversation with colleagues seeking to integrate histories of migration/diaspora into Middle Eastern studies. I also connect with researchers at Humanities Commons and on Bluesky at @sfahrenthold.bsky.social
