Webinar: Usaama al-Azami (Oxford), "The Ulama Between Democracy and Autocracy"
The latest book from Dr. al-Azami considers a relatively understudied dimension of the Arab revolutions of 2011: the role of prominent religious scholars. Professor al-Azami is Departmental Lecturer in Contemporary Islamic Studies at the University of Oxford. He completed his BA in Arabic and Islamic Studies at Oxford, his seminary training at Al-Salam Institute, and his MA and PhD in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. He specialises in Islamic political thought.
