SELECTED SYLLABI

• Islam

• The Qur’an

• Shariah Law

• Women, Gender, and Islam

At Boston University, I teach introductory, intermediate, and advanced Religion courses focused on Islam. I regularly offer Islam (RN 214), The Qur’an (RN 340), Shariah Law (RN 345), and a seminar on Women, Gender, and Islam (RN 435). I occasionally teach a seminar on Muhammad (RN 434) and co-teach Islamophobia and Antisemitism (RN 249). Most of these courses have graduate sections.

Most of my classes are open to non-BU students through consortium agreements with area colleges or the Boston Theological Institute. If you’re thinking about cross-registration, please contact the relevant office at your institution.

If you are considering applying to Boston University for doctoral work in religious studies, please visit the Graduate Program in Religion website. I’d be happy to talk with you about your interests and our program during my term-time office hours.

Please note that I do not supervise or sponsor post-doctoral or visiting researchers, even if you have your own funding. My advising energies are directed to my graduate students.
