I am a PhD candidate and research associate with the ERC research project “MAJLIS: The Transformation of Jewish Literature in Arabic in the Islamicate World”. In my research, I am focusing on the institutional history of the Qaraite dār al-ʿilm and its scholarly culture within a broader historical context. I obtained my MA in Middle Eastern Studies at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich, with a language emphasis on Arabic and Hebrew.
