Simon Leese is a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University on the ERC-funded SENSIS project (The senses of Islam: A cultural history of perception in the Muslim world). His PhD research (‘Longing for Salmá and Hind: (Re)producing Arabic Literature in 18th- and 19th-Century North India’, SOAS, 2019) focused on the connections that poetry has forged between the Middle East and South Asia, and how the meanings of Arabic poetry in India have been inflected by multilingualism and imaginations of geography. His research interests also include histories of literary taste and pleasure, translation between Arabic and other languages, and poetic visuality. His ‘Arabic utterances in a multilingual world: Shah Walī Allāh and Qur’anic translatability in North India’ is forthcoming (2021) in Translation Studies.
