Last year, Karimi published her second monograph with Stanford University Press.
Supported by the University of Heidelberg, Princeton, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, her current research is focused on the interplay between environmental issues and architectural design in the Middle East. Additionally, she is nearing the completion of another monograph exploring the nexus of activism and art in the Middle East, due for publication by Leuven University Press next fall.
Beyond her writing projects, Karimi supervises doctoral dissertations on Iranian architecture at institutions including UCL, Brown University, TU Delft, and the University of Torino, among others. This year, she is also involved in a groundbreaking research collaboration with Google, exploring the intersections of artificial intelligence and art.
