In her dissertation, Farah looks at the expulsion of the moriscos and their presence in the Americas, Morocco, and the Ottoman Empire from a socio-environmental perspective. In addition to this, Farah is interested the construction of Al-Andalus as an aesthetically appealing, pursuable, and transplantable natural and racialized landscape in Spanish, Arabic, and Ottoman sources.

Jose Behar
MBA, expected graduation 2028
BioI’m from Lima, Peru, and a member of Stanford GSB’s MBA Class of 2028. Before Stanford, I worked across private equity, investment banking, and asset management.
Most recently, I was an Investments Associate at GRIO, the investment office of Grupo Romero (Peru), where I worked on M&A, co-investments alongside global private equity funds, alternative investments, and strategic initiatives across portfolio companies. Earlier in my career, I worked in investment banking and capital markets.
At Stanford, I’m excited to deepen my experience in private equity and entrepreneurial finance, while exploring how investing can help build and scale businesses in Latin America and beyond.
Outside of work, I’m a big soccer fan and enjoy mentoring, traveling, and meeting people from different backgrounds. Always happy to talk investing, business ideas, soccer, or anything Latin America-related.
