Prof. Dr. Nasima Selim is a writer, educator, and researcher. Creative writing (nonfiction and fiction), reflexive and non-hierarchical didactics, and interdisciplinary collaborations shape her scientific and literary goals. As an interdisciplinary scholar in anthropology, medicine, and public health, she works in the fields of public anthropology, planetary health, environmental humanities, and Islamic anthropology, with a focus on Western Europe and South Asia.
She is currently working on a transnational research project that examines “breathing intelligence” across species, elements, and technologies in South Asia. Her most recent publications include Breathing Hearts: Sufism, Healing, and Anti-Muslim Racism in Germany (Berghahn 2024) and a co-edited volume, Ways of Breathing and Knowing: The Politics and Poetics of Air, Atmosphere, and the Body (together with Judith Albrecht, Routledge, in preparation).
