Anne F. Broadbridge
Associate Professor of History, University of Chicago
Professor Broadbridge has recently finished her second book, The Imperial Women of Chinggis Khan, which investigates Chinggis Khan’s mother, wives, daughters, and daughters-in-law to see the impact they made on the creation and military expansion of the Mongol Empire.
Her research interests include the Mamluk Sultanate, the Mongol Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Temür (Tamerlane), as well as ideology, legitimacy, diplomacy, and women in history. Her first book, Kingship and Ideology in the Islamic and Mongol Worlds (Cambridge, 2008), examines the conflicting ideas of kingship that the Mamluk Sultans of Egypt and Syria exchanged through diplomacy with Mongol and Turkish rulers in Southern Russia, Central Asia and Iran.
Her articles have covered topics including women and gender under Mongol rule (2017); the political careers of in-law families in Genghis Khan’s empire (2016); diplomatic careers among Mamluks and Mongols (2015); a case of Temürid-Mamluk espionage (2010); the impulse towards bringing family from home among the Mamluk elite (2008); diplomatic conventions in Egypt (2007); apostasy trials in Egypt and Syria (2006); Islamic monarchy (2004); the influence of the North African scholar Ibn Khaldun on Mamluk and Ottoman historical writing (2003); Mamluk legitimacy and the Mongols (2001) and academic rivalry and patronage in Egypt (1998).
Professor Broadbridge has held fellowships from the Fulbright Commission (Fulbright-Hays), the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Foundation, and the Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation, among others. She has been nominated three times for the Distinguished Teaching Award, and in 2004 received an Outstanding Teacher Award.
