Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWaleed Ziad is an Associate Professor of International History whose decade-plus academic career bridges social history, religious studies, and anthropology with deep regional expertise in South and Central Asia and Iran. He combines rigorous archival scholarship with extensive fieldwork—having visited over 140 towns across Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan—to illuminate the historical and philosophical foundations of Muslim revivalism and Sufi networks. Author of award-winning Hidden Caliphate (Harvard, 2021) and a major study in numismatics, his work moves fluidly between intellectual history and material culture. He has taught and researched at Yale, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Georgetown University in Qatar, and his analysis reaches broader audiences through outlets like The New York Times and Foreign Policy. Multilingual in Persian/Dari, Urdu, Arabic, French, Uzbek/Chaghatai, Sindhi, and Romanian, he brings rare linguistic access to understudied sources. His forthcoming book on female Sufi masters underscores a continuing interest in revealing overlooked actors and porous networks across modern Eurasia.
