Ovamir Anjum is the Imam Khattab Endowed Chair of Islamic Studies at The University of Toledo in Philosophy & Religious Studies Department, and affiliated faculty in History. He earned his PhD in Islamic intellectual history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in history, and has a master's degree in social sciences from the University of Chicago, as well as a master's degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Anjum's work focuses on the nexus of theology, ethics, politics, and law in classical and medieval Islam, with comparative interest in Western thought. His book, "Politics, Law and Community in Islamic Thought: The Taymiyyan Moment" (Cambridge University Press, 2012) has been received internationally and translated into Turkish and Arabic. He brings this historical knowledge to bear on issues in contemporary Islamic thought and movements. He has authored numerous articles published in academic journals and contributes to think tanks globally kie the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. and International Institute of Islamic Thought in Virginia, and Christian-Muslim Building Bridges Seminar at Georgetown University, and has recently presented at Center for Islam and Global Affairs in Istanbul, Hamad Khalifa University in Qatar, and Center for Ethics at Harvard University. He is the editor of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences. He externally advises graduate students in Egypt, Turkey, and in the U.S. at Georgetown and elsewhere. His forthcoming works include a monograph on ISIS and the future of Islam, one on a general survey of heroic action in Islamic history, an edited volume on psychology, Madarij al-Salikin (Ranks of Divine Seekers), which upon completion would be the largest single-author translation of an Arabic text. |
