Biography
Ahmed Mitiche is a cultural anthropologist whose work is situated at the intersection of religion, colonialism, modernity, and the secular. His current research is a historical anthropology of twentieth-century Algerian scholars and writers in the decades preceding the Algerian Revolution (1954–1962). Drawing on ethnographic and archival research in Algeria, France, and Morocco, and working across Arabic- and French-language sources, he examines their efforts to reckon with the remaking of subjectivity, epistemology, and the organization of time and earth under conditions of colonial governance. Ahmed’s research has been supported by the Fulbright Program, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the American Institute for Maghrib Studies. He is a 2026–2027 Dissertation Fellow at the Columbia University Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life.
