About
My main academic interests concern the cultural and socio-economic processes associated with the rise and expansion of Islamic society. My focus is particularly on the eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea and Indian Ocean as flexible and dynamic ‘cultural continents’. This includes the formulation of cultural concepts and identities in material culture, but also addresses aspects such as trade and mercantilism as important factors in the gradual formation of a globalised mindset in the early Middle Ages (650-1100 CE).
