I’m Dr. Glaire Anderson, award-winning author and historian of Islamic art, architecture, and visual culture. I’m Founding Director and Principal Consultant of the Digital Lab for Islamic Visual Culture & Collections (DLIVCC), a purpose-led business serving the games and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) sectors. I’m also Senior Lecturer in Islamic Art and Deputy Director of the History & Games Lab at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, where I’ve taught since 2018.

I’m focused on moving over to the new DLIVCC website in 2026 and am not currently updating this site. Please do visit my bio on the Team page at the new site and follow me on LinkedIn for current info.

Thanks!
