Curriculum Vitae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am a Lecturer in Islamic and Middle East Studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universit\u00e4t Freiburg, Germany. I am interested in how the Islamic scholarly tradition is debated and negotiated in modern and contemporary Muslim societies. My research revolves around the travel of ideas between West, Central, and South Asia. I focus on religious authority, the global history of the Iranian Revolution of 1978-79, transnational Shi\u2019ism, sectarianism and jihad, Islamic political thought, as well as Islamism and leftist movements in the Muslim world. Fieldwork over the last couple of years has led me to Egypt, Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Tunisia, and Lebanon. My work draws on materials in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before coming to Freiburg in October 2017, I was a Research Fellow in Islamic Studies at Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge. I completed my PhD in September 2015 at Princeton University’s Department of Near Eastern Studies. My dissertation \u201cRelocating the Centers of Sh\u012b\u02bf\u012b Islam: Religious Authority, Reform, and the Limits of the Transnational in Colonial India and Pakistan\u201d was advised by Prof. Muhammad Qasim Zaman. In May 2019, I was elected a member of the Junge Akademie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
