About
I obtained my Ph.D. in Islamic Intellectual history in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I also hold a Masters in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago. During 2007-2009, I served as the Senior Fellow of the Lubar Institute for the Study of the Abrahamic Religions (LISAR), UW-Madison, and taught at the Religious Studies Program at the same.
In addition to contemporary Islamic thought and movements, my work is concerned with the history of theology, politics and law in medieval Islam, with comparative interest in Western Thought. My main current project is a book on Islamic political thought. In addition, I am working on several articles on history of Sufism, on contemporary Islamic thought, and another on Ibn al-Qayyim's spiritual classic, Madarij al-Salikin.
