Biographical Sketch of Nikki Keddie (1930–)
Nikki Keddie, Professor Emerita of the History of the Middle East at the University of California at Los Angeles, is one of the most prominent social scientists and historians of her generation. Keddie, born in Brooklyn in 1930, graduated in history and literature from Radcliff College, received a Master’s degree from Stanford, and in 1955 earned her doctorate in history at the University of California, Berkeley. After a brief stint as an adjunct professor at the University of Arizona she taught at Scripps College for four years. It was thanks to the discernment and foresight of Gustave von Grunebaum, who had become director of the newly created Near Eastern Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, that Keddie was hired by UCLA in 1961. She taught there until 1993, when she took phased retirement. In the intervening years, she was a visiting professor at the University of Rochester, in 1970, and in Paris, in 1976
