Gokh Amin is a historian of modern Yemen with a focus on gender, race, and racialization. He currently holds the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of History, University of California, Santa Cruz.
- Education: B.A. in Political Science and Religious Studies (California State University, Bakersfield); M.A. in Global and International Studies (University of California, Santa Barbara); Ph.D. in History (University of California, Santa Barbara).
His research, titled "Native Outsiders: Marginalized Subjects and Communities in Modern Yemen, 1890–1960," introduces an "Oceanic Yemen" framework to recenter Yemen as a global anchor connecting East Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. This approach challenges traditional tribal/territorial narratives and redraws boundaries of belonging across disciplinary spaces.
His work draws on interdisciplinary methodologies from Middle East Studies, Indian Ocean Studies, and Black Studies. Key themes include marginalized communities, social history, and transregional identity formation.
- Scientific Awards: President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship.
