Consulting
In addition to my academic work, I also provide historical consulting services particularly with an eye towards engaging with the public. I can be contacted via my website or at my university email for inquires.
Below is a list of works I have consulted on.
Assassin’s Creed: Mirage
Ubisoft’s much-loved Assassin’s Creed comes to medieval Baghdad following the exploits of Bassem. I provided consulting work on urban design, weaponry, city demography, and historical details to ground the storytelling in real and lived world-building.
The Master of the Jinn by P. Djeli Clark
An innovative work of speculative fiction set in an alternative steampunk Cairo. I provided consulting work on alchemy and science in Egyptian society with help locating historical designs to inspire the images and logo used in the work.
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A Chakraborty
An exciting historical fantasy series that follows the fictional Amina al-Sirafi. I provided consulting work on the role of astrology, astronomy in navigation in the Islamic world.
The Sufi Mysteries Quartet by Laurie Silvers
A 4-book mystery set in medieval Baghdad full of history and wonder. I provided consulting work on the jinn and monsters in medieval Islam.
