Since the fall of 2018, Professor Ami Moosavi has been teaching at Rutgers–Newark, following a year-long EUME postdoctoral fellowship in Berlin (2016–17) funded by the Volkswagenstiftung and Mellon Foundation, and a visiting assistant professorship in modern Iranian studies at Brown University (2017–18). Their research and teaching focus on modern Arabic and Persian literatures and the cultural history of the Middle East, with particular attention to Iran, Iraq, and the Levant. At Rutgers–Newark, they offer courses on Arabic and Persian fiction and film, world literature, translation studies, and war culture. Their work explores how cultural production engages with violent pasts, wars, notions of transitional justice, representations of urban space, and the climate crisis.
