My Doctoral research looks at the impact of women on the arts of Iran during the Qajar dynasty. I am particularly interest in visual culture, such as manuscripts, paintings and patronage more broadly. My research aims at re-discovering the women that shaped the artistic field of the time, being patrons, artists and/or photographers.
I have previously studied at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London, for my MA degree, reading Dr Sussan Babaie's course on Safavid Art and Culture. I received my BA in History of Art from Trinity College, Cambridge.
