Her recent research has focused on the ramifications of sex work in Iran from the Constitutional Revolution of early twentieth century to the present day through the lens of Persian literature and film. She is particularly interested in women, gender, and sexuality studies and the intersection of religion and feminism. Her current research centers around the issues of child marriage and the #MeToo Movement in Iran.

Cohen

I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Oriental Studies Department. My academic research focus is on the successor languages to Sanskrit, such as Prakrit, Apabhramsha and Hindavi (Old Hindi). I am also interested in the rise of the literary vernaculars such as Awadhi (eastern Old Hindi). This includes an interdisciplinary approach involving historical linguistics, the rhetoric deployed in medieval Indian compositions and the linking of painterly practices with texts.

His essays appear and are forthcoming in Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory, MELUS, and Erasure and Recollection: Memories of Racial Passing (Peter Lang).
