Faaeza Jasdanwalla-Williams is an historian of early modern Ottoman women, having completed her PhD from Aberystwyth University. She went on to teach a module on Ottoman history at the University for 10 years. She simultaneously continued her secondary research on the African Diaspora in India. Her interest in the latter field emerges from the desire to research the history of her maternal ancestors who migrated from Eastern Africa (from the area around what was then Abyssinia) to India in the late medieval period. Migration and immigration (she herself is an immigrant in Wales) are therefore, subjects close to her heart.
