Postdoc (2018-2021),
Personal Profile:
Adam Bursi (Ph.D. Cornell University, 2015) studies early Islam in dialogue with other late antique religions, focusing on the ways that rituals related to relics, pilgrimage, and healing were tightly interwoven with the formation, self-understanding, and performance of communal membership among early Muslims. As a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University, he was part of the SENSIS project between 2018 and 2021, and co-edited the handbook Islamic Sensory History, Vol. 2: 600-1500 (Leiden-Boston: Brill, 2024) with Christian Lange. He is currently an editorial assistant at Fortress Press.
