New Appointment: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bergen

I am pleased to announce that as of the 1st of March 2024, I have taken up my latest appointment as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Foreign Languages (Institutt for fremmedspråk), University of Bergen, Norway. I am one of four other Marie Curie fellows who will be conducting research in various departments at UiB under this highly competitive grant from the European Commission.

For the next two years, I will be working on an independent project called MALAYMATRIMONEY (2024-2026), which will investigate the division of matrimonial wealth in Malay polygyny under contemporary Malaysian Islamic family law. This project is affiliated with the CanCode Project (2021-2024) led by Dr. Eirik Hovden, which examines processes of canonization and codification in classical and contemporary Islamic legal texts.

I am very pleased to have joined a warm and welcoming department at UiB, where I am a part of vibrant research groups such as the Centre for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and Global Health Anthropology.
