IN AMAN’S OWN WORDS …
I am interested in the intersection of science and the arts. Human understanding has long advanced through a synthesis of diverse fields, each enriching the other. I believe integrating disparate disciplines and fostering lateral thinking can enrich modern enquiry. I try to explore these approaches in my work at Britannica as a part of my own ongoing quest to make sense of the world and hope to take readers with me on what I hope is an enlightening journey.
Equally meaningful to me is the work of uncovering subaltern perspectives. History, as it is received, could leave some voices unheard. Bringing those voices forward is both rewarding and necessary for a representation of the past that is both more equitable and accurate.
