Her current project is tentatively titled, \u201cLeaving Yourself Behind: The Partition of India and its Aftermath in American Art.\u201d<\/p>\n
Naeem has a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, with a specialization in 19th- and 20th-century American art and a minor in 19th-century French art, and a bachelor\u2019s degree in art history and political science from the Johns Hopkins University.

\u201cAsma Naeem\u2019s research connects the history of photography to a relatively unknown history of the Partition of British India,\u201d says Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, director of the Center for the Humanities. \u201cHer work asks us to reconsider how we view the Partition and interpret the horrific history through the lens of an American photographer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
