Noor Amr
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2019
BioNoor Amr is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at Stanford University. She is currently writing her dissertation on the “church asylum” (Kirchenasyl) movement in Germany, paying attention to the relationship between sanctuary, religious difference, borders/migration, sovereignty, and political belonging. Her ethnographic research among churches and monasteries across Germany explores how Kirchenasyl—sanctuary from the state—becomes a means through which rejected asylum-seekers gain legibility as subjects worthy of legal recognition. Her broader theoretical interests include theories in political theology, religion/secularism, sanctuary and hospitality, histories of confinement, and the coloniality of asylum.
Prior to her doctoral work, Noor received a B.A. in Politics from Willamette University and an M.T.S. in Philosophy of Religion from Harvard Divinity School, where she was a Dean’s Fellow.
