Noah Salomon is Associate Professor and Irfan and Noreen Galaria Research Chair in Islamic Studies at UVA. A recent recipient of a Mellon New Directions Fellowship, he is currently based out of Beirut working on a transregional project on Islamic unity and its discontents in the context of popular revolution and in its aftermath. His first book, For Love of the Prophet: An Ethnography of Sudan's Islamic State (Princeton University Press, 2016), won the 2017 Albert Hourani Prize from the Middle East Studies Association as well as the 2017 Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in Analytical-Descriptive Studies from the American Academy of Religion.
