 Sebouh David Aslanian received his Ph.D. (with distinction) from Columbia University in 2007. He is the Richard Hovannisian Endowed Chair of Modern Armenian History and Associate Professor in the Department of History at UCLA. He taught world history and Indian Ocean studies at California State University, Long Beach, as an Assistant Professor from Fall 2010 to Spring 2011 after serving a year at Cornell University as a Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in World History. Aslanian specializes in early modern world and Armenian history and is the author of numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of World History, the Journal of the Social and Economic History of the Orient, Book History, the Journal of Global History, and Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies. His book From the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean: The Global Trade Networks of Armenian Merchants from New Julfa (University of California Press, 2011) received the UC Press Exceptional First Book Award from PEN Center USA and the Houshang Pourshariati Iranian Studies Book Award from the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) in 2011. Aslanian is currently working on a second book project, provisionally titled The Voyage of the Santa Catharina: A Global Microhistory of the Indian Ocean. In addition, he is conducting research for another project on early modern Armenian print culture and “book history” that seeks to study not only the diasporic production of early modern Armenian books from Amsterdam, Venice, and Constantinople to Madras and Calcutta, but also how these books were consumed and read by early modern readers.
