Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Raja is internationally renowned as one of the leading field archaeologists. She is an expert on cities of the Roman Near East as well as Palmyra and Gerasa, and has developed innovative approaches to the study of urban phenomena on a global scale and in comparative perspective. In Germany, she will develop a concept and approach to the study of “religion in urban landscapes” combining perspectives of lived ancient religion and inter-urban networks.
