معرفی
Elizabeth Lambourn is a Professor of Material Histories at De Montfort University, specializing in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural medieval history with a focus on the Indian Ocean world. She has held prestigious fellowships at Harvard, Stanford, and the Leverhulme Trust. In Fall 2025, she will be a Stewart Long-Term Visiting Fellow at Princeton University's Humanities Council and History Department, co-teaching a graduate seminar on trade and object circulation in the ancient and medieval Indian Ocean with Marina Rustow (Near Eastern Studies).
Her research emphasizes material culture and global medieval networks, reflected in publications such as Abraham’s Luggage (2018) and edited volumes like Legal Encounters on the Medieval Globe (2017) and A Cultural History of the Sea in the Medieval Age (2021). Her work bridges maritime history, legal studies, and cultural analysis to explore how objects and ideas moved across premodern societies.
Her honors include the Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship and the Stewart Visiting Fellowship. Lambourn’s current projects likely expand her focus on material networks and cross-cultural exchanges in medieval global contexts.
