Presentasjon

Sami Al-Daghistani (Ph.D., 2017, Islamic Studies, Leiden University, co-supervision at Columbia University) is a Researcher at the Center for the Advanced Study of Religion (CASR), an Associate Faculty Member at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, and a Research Scholar at the Middle East Institute at Columbia University. His teaching and research focus on Islamic intellectual history, especially on the intersection of economic and environmental thought in Islam, ethics, law, and epistemology, and Islam and modernity.

Sami has published on Islamic legal and economic thought, and edited two books on the Second Gulf War (2010) and on Middle Eastern culture (2013). He published two book translations from Arabic - Ibn Battuta's Rihla and Ibn Tufayl's Hay ibn Yaqzan. His forthcoming monographs are Abu Hamid al-Ghazali’s Spiritual Economics (under review with Anthem Press) and The Making of Islamic Economics (under review with Cambridge University Press). Forthcoming edited volumes include Pluralism in Emergenc(i)es, Untangling Popular Power in the Middle East, and Recovering Sustainable Traditions.

At MF CASR, Sami will be working on the INTERSECT project.
