Talking With Teachers: Season 3 Episode 12-Dr. Zara Khan

Join us for the grand finale of Talking With Teachers Season 3, hosted by Dr. Abdullah bin Hamid Ali! In this episode, we are honored to feature Dr. Zara Khan, a distinguished scholar specializing in Western episteme, political philosophy, human rights, and the intersections of religion and public life. Dr. Zara Khan was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She holds a Ph.D. with Distinction in Political Theory and Comparative Politics from the City University of New York Graduate Center. Her groundbreaking doctoral dissertation, Refractions Through the Secular: Islam, Human Rights, Universality, reflects her profound engagement with critical theory and political philosophy. Throughout her academic career, Dr. Khan has taught at Lehigh University, the City University of New York, and West Chester University, offering courses such as Introduction to Political Theory, Politics of Development, and Politics of Diversity. Her work focuses on deconstructing Modernity and secularism while striving to contribute to the Islamicization of knowledge across education, politics, culture, and economics. In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Khan shares her insights on the challenges of a process she calls 'Islamization' and so much more.
