About Sabahat

Sabahat is an educator, historian, and writer with a doctorate from the University of Chicago. She has traveled widely and lived and researched in Spain, Morocco, and Turkey. Sabahat has been a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and she is currently on the history faculty at a dynamic independent school in the Bay Area. She has developed a wide breadth of courses and curricular materials on topics as general as global travel geared towards kindergarteners and first graders for the Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University to specialized courses on classical Arabic literature for college-aged and graduate students at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Beyond the classroom setting, Sabahat has lectured widely in a variety of venues and cities, including Paris, London, and Rabat. In addition to currently teaching history survey courses and advanced seminars to high school students at an independent school in the Bay Area, Sabahat also teaches history classes on topics such as Mediterranean history and culture on Outschool and is actively developing a repertoire of innovative classes and courses geared towards adult learners. She has also lectured and published widely on topics related to history, culture, literature, religion, and language.

Outside of her passion for history, Sabahat launched and ran an extensive editorial and writing consultation service for several years. Currently, Sabahat balances teaching, learning, reading, writing, conversing, photographing, hiking, experimenting in the kitchen, and chasing a toddler and her dreams.

Through Making History Accessible, which was launched in the summer of 2020, Sabahat is excited to collaborate with individuals and institutions who are committed to addressing gaps and inequities in our understandings of the past and vision for the future.
