Project description
Depictions of Ottoman Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem
The EU-funded MOBILESITES project covers a researcher mobility training programme for three years and the research project ‘Mobilising Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem: Representations of the Islamic Holy Sites in the Ottoman Empire’. Specifically, it will support researcher training at the University of Michigan’s Department of History of Art, the Asia-Africa-Institute of Hamburg University (Department for History and Culture of the Middle East), and the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin to improve career development and research experience. Work will include the production of a scholarly book as well as research and preparation of conferences, improving teaching skills (hereunder e-teaching, linguistic, codicological and epigraphic skills), and curatorial training.
Objective
MOBILESITES comprises my ‘mobility’ training programme for the next three years and my research project, entitled ‘Mobilising Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem: Representations of the Islamic Holy Sites in the Ottoman Empire’. This training programme would immensely improve my career development through a reciprocal transfer of knowledge, and this research project would provide me with time and resources to expand and amplify a chapter and certain sections of my doctoral dissertation into a scholarly book. Furthermore, the MSCA-IF-GF would help me build upon my teaching and research experience by working at outstanding institutions and with prominent supervisors. During the outgoing phase of the MSCA-IF-GF, I will spend 24 months at the University of Michigan’s (U-M) Department of History of Art under the supervision of Prof. Dr Christiane Gruber. During the incoming phase, I will spend 12 months at Universität Hamburg’s (UHH) Asien-Afrika-Institut, Geschichte und Kultur des Vorderen Orients under the supervision of Prof. Dr Stefan Heidemann. Furthermore, the Museum für Islamische Kunst in Berlin (ISL) and Prof. Dr Stefan Weber will host my intersectoral secondment during months 22–24. The three work packages (summarised in the Gantt Chart), Towards Publications (WP1), Towards Teaching (WP2), and Towards Curating (WP3), make up my distinct yet related three-year action plan. WP1 not only includes the work required for my book project but also the research and preparation for conference/symposium presentations, peer-reviewed articles, and workshops. WP2 consists of the preparations for lectures and active teaching itself, as well as improving my e-teaching, linguistic, codicological, and epigraphic skills. And finally, WP3 covers the curatorial training that I would like to gain in a museum environment and converting my research into displays and content that are accessible to a larger public.
