Dr. Anahit Khosroeva

Visiting Professor / Genocide Scholar

Department of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations, Harvard University

Born in Armenia, Anahit Khosroeva is a historian specializing in genocide studies.
She serves as Visiting Professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations (NELC) at Harvard University.
She is the author of a dozen books and monographs, as well as numerous scholarly articles, especially focusing on the Assyrian genocide, Ottoman history, and related topics.

Some of Dr. Khosroeva’s notable contributions include:

Assyrians in the Ottoman Empire and the Official Turkish Policy of their Extermination, 1890s-1918 – a monograph contributing to the study of policies toward Christian minorities under the late Ottoman state.
The Ottoman Genocide of the Assyrians in Persia – another important work in her portfolio.
The Significance of the Assyrian Genocide after a Century – reflects her interest in how genocide legacy continues to affect identity, memory, and historiography.

Dr. Khosroeva’s work helps shed light on relatively under-recognized genocides, particularly the Assyrian genocide, situating them in wider discussions of human rights, genocide recognition, and historical justice.
Her scholarship bridges historical archival research with contemporary debates about memory, recognition, and the consequences of mass violence for communities and nations.
By publishing in multiple venues (books, monographs, articles) she has made the topics accessible to both academic and public audiences.
