Adang was also a fellow at the The Woolf Institute in Cambridge as of 2011. During this time, she delivered a seminar on Muslim-Jewish polemics in Medieval Spain which was noted for Adang's definition of Muslim Fatwas are merely legal verdicts, rather than "death sentences" as popularly portrayed in the media,[5] in addition to chairing a roundtable discussion of linguistic influences on Judeo-Muslim exchanges.[6]
