Todd Fine holds a PhD degree in American history, focusing on the intellectual history of the Cold War, historic preservation in New York City, and Arab-American literature. He is passionate about creative advocacy related to public history, in particular artist Sara Ouhaddou's monument to Arab-American literature to be unveiled in Lower Manhattan's Elizabeth Berger Plaza in 2025. Due to current events, he has now shifted focus to the rising influence of anti-democratic politics and fascist ideology in Silicon Valley.
