Yasmin Moll

I am an anthropologist of religion, race and media with expertise in the Middle East. My first book explores the role Islamic television played in Egypt’s 2011 revolution. I direct the Narrating Nubia project at the University of Michigan, a collaborative initiative bringing together archaeologists and anthropologists of Nubia in Egypt and Sudan. My ethnographic research within this project centers on the visual anthropology of Nubia as it intersects with community activism, social memory and contestations around race and indigeneity. I am also a documentary filmmaker.
