Dr. Amjad Khan
Amjad Khan is an educator, writer, historian, and academic researcher whose work is driven by a profound commitment to people and the future of the United States. Born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, Amjad’s journey has been shaped by a deep awareness of how history, policy, and education intersect to influence society.
Education is more than a profession for Amjad—it is a calling. With years of experience in classrooms and research settings, he believes that education is the most powerful tool to awaken minds, challenge injustice, and cultivate a more thoughtful and equitable world. His work as an educator is grounded in compassion, critical thinking, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every learner to shape the world around them.
In addition to his work in education, Amjad is a dedicated writer and historian. His debut book, Echoes in the Abyss: The Men Who Made the Monster, invites readers into a provocative and illuminating exploration of Adolf Hitler’s ideological influences. Written in the tradition of narrative nonfiction, the book encourages readers to confront the past not as distant memory, but as a mirror reflecting the dangers of unchecked power, populism, and moral decay. Amjad’s goal is not only to present historical facts, but to spark meaningful dialogue about the fragile nature of democracy and the urgent lessons history offers for today’s political landscape.
Amjad is also an experienced opinion writer and grant writer. His essays and articles reflect a strong voice shaped by lived experience, intellectual rigor, and a concern for justice and human dignity. Whether he is analyzing current events or advocating for community investment through grants, his work is always grounded in empathy, clarity, and purpose.
Through education, writing, and scholarship, Amjad Khan challenges audiences to think critically, act responsibly, and remember that the stories we tell about our past shape the possibilities of our future.
