About: Dr. Ponni Arasu is a feminist researcher, historian, activist, legal practitioner, translator and theatre artist hailing from Chennai and currently based in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. She is trained in History at the University of Delhi, the Jawaharlal Nehru University and the University of Toronto. Her academic work is on historical ethnographies of contemporary India, with specific focus on social movements such as the Dravidian movement and the women's movement(s). Her PhD research has led her to propose a theoretical framework and methodology called TamilThanmai. She has done research in India and Sri Lanka on the realities of those marginalised on the grounds of their gender, sexuality, caste, class, language, labour, ability, ethnicity, religion etc. for the past twenty years. Her research emerges from and feeds back into movements for social change that she is a part of. She has taught entire courses and guest lectures in the disciplines of history, South Asian studies, Tamil studies, women and gender studies, Caribbean studies and anthropology at the University of Toronto - Canada, University of Minnesota - USA, University of Tubingen - Germany, the University of Jaffna in Sri Lanka, the Tata Institute of Social Studies, Azim Premji University and the University of Pune in India. She has been evolving pedagogic methods of teaching the history and contemporary realities of Sri Lanka with a focus on rigorous research methodology and critical thinking in non-formal and yet consistent teaching spaces to Tamil-speaking students from all over Sri Lanka. This has taken the form of the “Ezhuval: for young women and social change” that she has designed and co-teaches, hosted at the Church of the American Ceylon Mission, Batticaloa. For the past three years she has undertaken research projects in Sri Lanka including on women farmers' collectives; lives and movements for change of women living with disabilities in eastern Sri Lanka; the present realities of LGBTQIA+ individuals and on the status of sex workers. She has produced theatre work with collaborators in India and Sri Lanka on a range of issues which are grounded in using the arts to further the important process of making realities of the marginalised visible and accessible to all. Ponni is also a trained expressive arts therapist practicing primarily in Tamil among women and queer folks from marginalised communities in India and Sri Lanka. She is the Arts and Catalyst Fellowship holder for 2023 at the Studio for Movement Arts and Therapies in Bangalore. She is currently a Global Encounters fellow at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tubingen pursuing research on the life of the goddess Mariamman among descendants of largely Dalit indentured workers in Port of Spain, Trinidad and among rural communities in Tamilnadu. She hopes to bring her proposed concept of TamilThanmai as theory and method to this work. |

About: Molly Bronstein earned her PhD in Comparative Literature and Medieval Studies from UC Berkeley in 2022, where she subsequently worked as a lecturer before coming to Tübingen in 2023.

About: Marika Pulkkinen holds a PhD in Theology in the field of Biblical Studies (June 2020, University of Helsinki). In her PhD dissertation, Paul’s Use of Psalms: Quotations, Allusions, and Psalm Clusters in Romans and 1 Corinthians (http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-951-51-6041-6), she specialized in Pauline studies, Septuagint Studies, and Psalms Studies. She worked as a PhD Candidate in the Centre of Excellence in Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions (2014–2019) funded by the Academy of Finland. In addition, during her PhD project, she worked two semesters as an associate member of the Research Training Group “Ambiguity – Production and Perception” (led by Prof. Matthias Bauer) at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (2014–2015). In her current postdoctoral project Evoking Shame, Honor, Desire, and Disgust through Vocabulary of Sex Work in the Ancient Jewish Sources and in the New Testament, she takes into account a broader set of sources (The prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible/the Septuagint; Graeco-Roman sources, Dead Sea Scrolls) as well as multidisciplinary methods (emotions studies, affect theories). During the calendar year 2022, Marika Pulkkinen worked as a visiting scholar and an associate member of the ERC project Honour in Classical Greece at the University of Edinburgh with her personal research grant by the Finnish Cultural Foundation. |

Activities at the College of Fellows: Humboldt Lecture: "Medical Practice in Ancient Egypt: Who, What, and How?" (9. November 2022) |
About: I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies, hosted by Prof. Dr. Christian Leitz. I obtained my PhD in 2021 from the University of Copenhagen with the dissertation Medical Science in Ancient Egypt: A Translation and Interpretation of Papyrus Louvre-Carlsberg (pLouvre E 32847 + pCarlsberg 917). The dissertation presented a preliminary text edition of a 6-meter-long papyrus—the second-longest medical text surviving from ancient Egypt—which I finalized for publication during a subsequent postdoc at the University of Copenhagen funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and Edubba Foundation. My main research interests lie in ancient Egyptian medicine and magic, science and technology, and social history. I am co-director of the international, interdisciplinary research project Scientific Papyri from Ancient Egypt in Cross-Cultural Perspective, which aims to advance the field of ancient science by publishing unedited textual sources and by facilitating advanced papyrological training of early career scholars. My background is primarily in philology, but I also have considerable archaeological and osteological training. |
