Message from Aria: 

My name is Aria Nakissa and I am an assistant professor of Islamic studies and anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, with specialist knowledge on the Middle East and Southeast Asia regions. My first book is titled "The Anthropology of Islamic Law: Education, Ethics, and Legal Interpretation at Egypt's Al-Azhar". It will be published by Oxford University Press in April of 2019. Currently I am working on a second book about global projects to reshape the norms and beliefs of Muslim populations across the globe, giving special attention to interrelated projects on human rights, counter-extremism, and Islamic reform.

Thank you Cire 😊 To me, he seemed curious and interested in collecting as much information about our community and our views as time allowed.

Some of your strongest work Armin! I hope Aria was open to your analysis; he seemed determined to return again and again to a Western-centered determinism that I fear may be his academic agenda. Was he truly open or hoping to gain nuggets in support of his hypothesis? Even so, you must have sowed some seeds of doubt...it's what your best at!
