Magdalen is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge, where she researches written linguistic features of Egyptian Jewish, Muslim and Christian folk tales from the Ottoman period. Magdalen gained a first-class degree in Arabic and Theology at the University of Exeter in 2013. After completing her MPhil (2013-2014) and PhD (2014-2018) in Judaeo-Arabic philology, under the supervision of Prof. Geoffrey Khan at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, Magdalen also became a part-time Research Associate at the Cambridge University Library’s Genizah Research Unit, where she helps identify and describe Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic manuscripts, dating from between the 9th and 19th centuries. In addition to her work on Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic philology, Magdalen has a burgeoning interest in Arabic palaeography and codicology, particularly in relation to Arabic-script Qurʾān fragments found in the Cairo Genizah collections.
