Saghi Gazerani is a historian specializing in medieval cultural history of Iran. She received a PhD from Ohio State’s History Department in 2007. She wrote her dissertation on the epic literature of Iran, examining how the corpus functioned as a genre of historiography memorializing Iran’s ancient past, while at the same time revealing the polemical discourse of power. The revised version of her dissertation was published in 2016 and received an Honorable Mention by the International Society for Iranian Studies. She has published several articles and most of her work has been translated into Persian. Currently she is in the final stages of her second monograph, examining popular medieval literature with the aim to gain an understanding of the ordinary person’s agency in the politics of the medieval Middle East. In addition to her research, she has taught courses in Iran, Turkey, and the United States.
