The reign of Shah Jahan (1628–58) is widely regarded as the golden age of the Mughal empire, yet it is one of the least studied periods of Mughal history. In this volume (The Marg Foundation, March 2019), edited by Ebba Koch in collaboration with UC Davis history professor Ali Anooshahr, 14 eminent scholars present for the first time a multidisciplinary analysis of Shah Jahan and his predecessor Jahangir. 

Ali Anooshahr is a historian of Mughal India as well as the "Persianate World" during the early modern era. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998, and his M.A. (2002) and Ph.D. (2005) from UCLA. He taught at Saint Xavier University in Chicago (2007-8) and moved to Davis in 2008. Before this, he worked for two years (2005-2007) cataloging Persian, Turkish, and Arabic manuscripts at UCLA Library’s Special Collections. He is on the editorial board of the Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient. His research has been supported by fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Hellman Foundations, among others.
