Many facets of her existing interests aligned: her fascination with historical and contemporary […]
Amy Goldin awarded National Endowment Critic’s Grant and travels to Islamic world
In 1972, Goldin received a National Endowment Critic’s Grant. She commuted to Harvard to take courses from noted Islamicist, Oleg Grabar.
