\"\"Starting from July, the Israeli historian and educator Avinoam Shalev is the 24th Director of the prestigious American Academy in Rome. He is currently the Riggio Professor for the Arts of Islam in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. He studied at the University of Tel Aviv and the University of Munich before earning a PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1995.
\nShalem specializes in the history of Islamic art, with a strong emphasis on Arab art in the Mediterranean Basin, the Near East, and the Levant, as well as in Spain, southern Italy, and Sicily. He also focuses on the art of the object, including secular and sacred aesthetics, as well as Jewish, Christian, and Islamic artistic interactions in the Mediterranean. He is no stranger to the Academy, with which he already collaborated. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Academy is very fortunate to have a scholar of Avinoam Shalem\u2019s caliber providing a fresh and varied perspective as director,\u201d said the AAR President and CEO Mark Robbins. \u201cHis academic achievements, intellectual generosity, and global approach to scholarship make him an ideal choice.\u201d
\n\u201cI am extremely pleased and excited to work with the international community at the American Academy in Rome,\u201d said Dr. Shalem. \u201cI very much look forward to continuing the Academy\u2019s long tradition of promoting innovative thinking by encouraging an interdisciplinary approach that examines in-between zones, such as those between art and art history, history and prose, music and philosophy, and architecture and archeology.\u201d
