I will be in Boston at this year's American Academy of Religion conference. I am presenting one paper based in part on my dissertation research, and then speaking at a round table session for advanced graduate students in Islamic Studies. Here is the information on presentations:

Saturday, November 18th - 4:00 PM-6:30 PM - Marriott Copley Place-Wellesley (Third Level) - Panel title: Islamic South Asia: Text, Interpretation, and Resistance

Paper title: Mughal Indology in the Ain-i Akbari: Abu'l Fazl and Esoteric Divination Practices

Monday, November 20th - 9:00 AM-11:30 AM - Marriott Copley Place-Simmons (Third Level) - Panel title: New Graduate Research in Islamic Studies

Dissertation title: The Power of the Breath in Persianate India

This will be the first time that I make it back to Boston since leaving there in 2005 after I received my Master's in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. Not sure I will have much time to make it over the river to Cambridge, but still excited to go back where I had so many warm (or were they cold?) memories from what feels like a lifetime ago.
