Paul Cobb is a social and cultural historian of the pre-modern Middle East. By definition, his teaching and research are wide-ranging, with a special interest in medieval Muslim-Christian-Jewish relations. He received his B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (1989), and an MA and PhD in Islamic history from the University of Chicago (1991, 1997). He is the author of White Banners: Contention in 'Abbasid Syria (Albany: SUNY Press, 2001), which examines the sources of socio-political unrest in Syria-Palestine in the early Middle Ages, and he is currently at work on a second book about a Muslim family in the age of the Crusades. He has been a Fellow of the Kroc Institute since 2003.
