Nayree Mardirian is a PhD candidate and teacher at the University of Melbourne. Her research concerns modern Middle Eastern and American history (with a particular focus on Lebanon). Her doctoral thesis concerns the life of Lebanese scholar and diplomat Charles Habib Malik and his involvement in the second Lebanese Civil War. She speaks Armenian fluently, Musa Ler dialect sufficiently, and Arabic horribly. She loves to cook and eat with those she loves.
