About
Hannah-Lena Hagemann is an historian of early Islam with a particular interest in historiography and historical memory, rebellion and social strife, Islamic Late Antiquity, the Umayyads, and the history of the Jazīra (Northern Mesopotamia). She received her PhD from Edinburgh University in 2015 for a dissertation on the representation of Khārijites in works (mostly chronicles) of the early Islamic historical tradition. She worked for Stefan Heidemann’s ERC project “The Early Islamic Empire at Work” (Hamburg) for several years, during which she focused on the administrative history and geography of the Jazīra. As leader of her own research group, she is thrilled to return to Khārijism, this time from a more positivist perspective.
