Ani Shahinian is a D.Phil. student in Oriental Theology at the University of Oxford. Ms. Shahinian holds an M.A. degree in Near Eastern and Languages and Cultures - Armenian Studies from UCLA, and graduate certificates in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Oxford. She received her B.A. in Philosophy, Ethics, and Professional Writing from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

Prior to her graduate studies, Ms. Shahinian worked at the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), assisting with investigations and prosecutions of human trafficking cases and criminal civil rights abuses. While working at DOJ, she detected parallels between contemporary and historic human rights violations. Her career at DOJ became a corresponding journey of investigation and discovery of her identity as a Christian Armenian-American, directing her research interests in the field of Eastern Christian Studies. Her doctorate research addresses the question of Christian martyrdom in the context of Christian-Muslim relations in the Ottoman Empire, and more broadly Christian martyrdom narratives in the Armenian history and literature.
