Today is my official start day for a new position as Visiting Teaching Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Denver (DU). I will be teaching a variety of courses in the Religious Studies department, including:

Intro to Islam; Islam in Film, Islam in the U.S., Islamic Mysticism, Modern Muslim Thinkers (19th-21st CE), and Religion in Science Fiction

I had a wonderful time teaching two courses in the department last academic year (Intro to Islam, Qur’an and Hadith), and am looking forward to getting to know more of the students, as well as my colleagues in the department. Last year I worked a lot with graduate students, and this year will be more focused on undergraduate courses.

Stay tuned for updates later this fall on some writing and research projects!
