Join us as we interview cultural historian of food and gender Anny Gaul on our afikra Conversations series on December 17th. Anny is a cultural historian of food and gender specializing in Egypt and Morocco. She is currently an assistant professor of Arabic Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Through her research, popular writing, and public speaking she uses food and kitchens to explore how ideas like nationalism, modernity, and domesticity have felt and tasted through time. Her other interests include the history of women's movements in the Middle East and North Africa and learning by making. She has taught at Georgetown and at Tufts, works as a translator (from Arabic) and has written a food blog since 2010. Anny holds a PhD from Georgetown University. She also earned an MA from Georgetown’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and a BA from Yale.
