If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.
I am a historian working on the cultural and intellectual history of the modern Middle East. I am broadly interested in the history of the Nahda, historiography, and Arabic literature. My disseration, lying at the intersection of Middle Eastern Studies and Jewish studies, examined the Arabic Jewish press in the Middle East during the 1930s and '40s and studies the ideas and intellectual networks of its editors and contributors.

I am an Ancient Historian and Classical Archaeologist currently teaching for the University of Groningen. My work focuses on public space, public life, and statues and monuments in Hellenistic and Roman Greece and in the ancient world more broadly. I teach a broad range of courses at BA and MA level in the History and Archaeology departments and have a particular affinity with cultural and political approaches to the ancient world. I am currently engaged in publishing the votive portrait statues from the Hellenistic and Roman period Artemision at Messene. The project aims to casts new light on why people dedicated statues of themselves in sanctuaries, to explore the experience of viewing religious scultpure and to develop new methods for using 3D computer technology for archaeological reconstruction.

As a researcher, my primary interest is the modern history of Jewish communities in the Islamic world and their responses to modernity. From a methodological standpoint I consider myself a historian, and as such the majority of my research is based on archival material and historic press in English, French, Arabic, and Hebrew, dating from the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. My current research rethinks the connection between transnational solidarity organizations and empire. The focus is on the centrality and agency of non-European elites, thereby challenging assumptions about the center and the periphery within colonial networks.

Politics and religion, with a particular focus on Sunni politics and political opposition in Iraq and Egypt. My current research project (2023-2024), funded by an NWO Open Competitie SGW XS grant, focuses on the reconstruction of the Iraqi city of Mosul from an Iraqi and a Dutch perspective. I focus on reconstruction projects in Mosul by conducting fieldwork and by studying secondary literature and policy reports. Specifically, I look at the political and religious context in which this takes place and the extent to which this complex context of international actors and (local) sectarian politics affects the efficiency and sustainability of the reconstruction efforts. For my previous projects, I focused on the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood under the rules of Sadat and Mubarak. My studies have always been primarily based on Arabic journals and newspapers, sources, which proved to be of great relevance for new insights into the movement’s mentality history in the build-up to the events of January 2011 and, in a broader sense, the development of Islamism and political Islam in Egypt and beyond.
In August 2020 my book titled Imagining the Perfect Society in Muslim Brotherhood Journals was published by De Gruyter.

Westberg promotes the use of historical perspectives and methods within the field of educational research, and has paid special attention to the history of primary schooling and early childhood care and education (ECCE). He has a particular interest in questions regarding the how's and why's of educational expansion, not the least the rise of mass schooling during the 19th century and the expansion of ECCE since the 1960s. As a result, he has published monographs, edited books, textbooks and journals articles covering issues relating to the social and economic history of education; school finance; material culture, school architecture; teachers, teachers' salary and livelihoods, discipline and governmentalities; educational borrowing and educational transfer.
