PD. Dr. Nora Lafi is a historian (PhD, 1999; Habilitation, 2011).


She specializes in the study of the Ottoman Empire and of the societies of the Middle East and North Africa.

She is involved with the Ghadames Heritage Project of the Leibnitz Center for the Orient. The project focusses on Gadhames as a centre for developing community based strategies for digitalization and heritage. 

She is also a Privat Dozentin at Freie Universität Berlin. She co-chairs the Cities Compared project, part of EUME (Forum Transregionale Studien, Berlin).

In November 2025 she was invited to Turin for the Palazzo Nuovo conference.

In June 2025 she participated in Making Boundaries: Performing Religion and Urbanity at University of Erfurt with a talk titled: The nature of urban boundaries revisited: longue-durée reflections on Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Aleppo. Find more about the conference here.

She was a Senior Fellow at the Max Weber Centre, Erfurt.

She has been chairing between 2020 and 2024 the international research project HISDEMAB of the Leibniz-Association on the historicity of democracy and deliberation in the Arab world.


She has published extensively on urban governance (Esprit civique et organisation citadine dans l’empire ottoman, Brill, 2019) as well as on the historical anthropology of religion ("Daily Life Spatialities and Temporalities of Religion in Ottoman Tunis: Reflections on the Complexity of Urban Religious Landscapes"), Archiv für Religionsgeschichte, 2023, 25, 1, p.309-333, and gender studies (“Finding women and gender in the sources”, 2018).
