History

Dr. Netta Amir completed her doctoral studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In recent years, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Open University (2022-23) and a Minerva postdoctoral fellow at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz (2023-24). Netta is a medievalist. Her studies focus on the interrelations between religion and territoriality and the emergence of sacred topographies. She explores the different ways in which a non-hegemonic minority group constructs and reconstructs its devotional sphere under changing conditions and in light of shifts in religious and political thought. Her current research project, entitled "Europeans Across and Beyond the Mamluk Holy Land," is dedicated to the geographical, conceptual, and practical boundaries of Latin-Christian devotional practice on the outskirts of the Holy Land in the late Middle Ages.
