NEDDA MEHDIZADEH is Full-Time Lecturer in Writing Programs at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her MA/PhD in English Language and Literature from The George Washington University in 2013. Her current book project, tentatively titled Translating Ancient Persia in Early Modern English Writing argues that the "Englyshing" of biblical and classical narratives about ancient Persia shaped England's desires regarding transnational exploration in the early modern period. The complex transnational encounters that unfolded between Persia's Safavid natives and their English visitors expose a more dynamic system of exchange in the early modern period that challenges limiting binaries of East and West.
