Shadia Husseini de Araújo studied Geography and Islamic studies at the WWU Münster, then did her doctorate in Geography and worked as a research associate at the institutes of Geography of the WWU Münster and the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. In 2012, she conducted a postdoctoral project on the geographies of Muslim identities in Brazil at the Department of Geography of the University of São Paulo (Brazil). She worked as a visiting professor starting in 2013 at the Institute of Geography of the University of Brasília (Brazil) and there as an assistant professor since 2014.
Her research interests include the Islamic world, migration and diaspora research, postcolonial theory and translation theoretic approaches in geography. In Brazil she has gained the funding of a project on the global Halal economy and researches the connections between the global halal market, halal production and the work of Muslim, religiously qualified (im) migrants. At the University of Mainz, she wanted to work with colleagues in order to be able to relate and compare global and translocal processes of the Halal economy.
