Liran Yadgar, a Postgraduate Associate at the Judaic Studies Program of Yale University and a PhD Candidate in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, the University of Chicago, studies the social and intellectual history of Jews and Muslims in the Medieval Islamic World. He is particularly interested in the history of Jews in Mamluk Egypt and Syria (1250-1517), and Jewish-Muslim polemics. His dissertation, "The Judeo-Muslim Symbiosis Revisited: Jews and Muslims in the Later Middle Period (1200-1500 CE)," examines Jewish-Muslim intellectual exchange in three treatises from Egypt and the Maghrib.
