Judith A. Lerner, ISAW Research Associate, Awarded the 2024 Middle East Medievalists Honorary Membership Award

We are delighted to share that the Middle East Medievalists (MEM) has awarded the 2024 Honorary Membership Award to ISAW Research Associate Judith A. Lerner for her contributions to the study of Late Antique and early Islamic material culture. This honorary membership is granted by the MEM Board of Directors to a select group of senior medievalists who have distinguished themselves in their teaching and research.

Among Dr. Lerner’s academic interests are the seals and sealings from Achaemenid and Sasanian Iran, Bactria, and Sogdiana, as well as metalwork from these periods and regions. We extend our congratulations to Judith for this well-deserved recognition!

Middle East Medievalists (MEM) is an international professional non-profit association of scholars interested in the study of the medieval Middle East, defined expansively to include all geographies with prominent Muslim political, religious, or social presences, at some point between the rough parameters of 500 – 1500 CE.
