Potentials of frontier studies in medieval Islam: Lessons learned from Jordan
After obtaining in 1998 a Ph.D. at the University of Toronto with a thesis on “The Ceramic Correlates of Decline in the Mamluk Sultanate: An analysis of late Medieval Sgraffito Wares”, Bethany Walker taught at several universities of the U.S.A. At present she is associated professor of Middle Eastern History in the Department of History, Missouri State University. For the last decade, she was first and foremost involved in excavations in Jordan. Her publications concern principally ceramics in the late Islamic period, land management and social-economic history of the mamluks in Jordan. From 2011 till 2019 she participates in the international research project “History and Society of the Mamluk Era (1250-1517)”, sponsored by the Institut für Orient- und Asienwissenschaften, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, Bonn and funded by the DFG.
