Carina Dreyer is a PhD student in Islamic Intellectual History at Harvard’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Before coming to Harvard, she received an MA degree in History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with a focus on the Middle East and History of Science for which she also served as Teaching Assistant. In addition, she holds an MSc degree in Mathematics from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany, where she was also a visiting student in the Munich School of Ancient Philosophy. In between, she taught mathematics at Habib University, Karachi, the first liberal arts university in Pakistan, where she, amongst others, developed a new course on the History of Number Theory to introduce students to a historical perspective on the sciences, focusing on the Islamic world. This is a reflection of her research interests, which lie at the intersection of the rational and transmitted sciences, Sufism, and Mongol and Mamluk social and intellectual history. Her master’s thesis Quṭb al‐Dīn al‐Shīrāzī and his political, religious, and intellectual networks traced his life through the complex and everchanging Ilkhanid environments, and his (in)formal networks transcending political, linguistic, and genre boundaries. She intends to continue her research on scholarly networks, discussions, and teaching activities in the postclassical period with a focus on natural philosophy and logic.
