Annual Gitner Lecture: Contesting Muhammad: Contemporary Controversies in Historical Perspectives
2nd Annual Gerald and Deanne Gitner Family College of Arts & Sciences Lecture
Speaker: Kecia Ali
The Annual Gitner Family Lecture is designed to highlight current Boston University faculty members whose teaching and research addresses topics of major importance for the broad interest and benefit of the BU Community.
Kecia Ali (Ph.D., Religion, Duke University) teaches a range of classes on Islam. Her research focuses on Islamic law; women and gender; ethics; and biography. Her books include Sexual Ethics and Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur’an, Hadith, and Jurisprudence (2006), Marriage and Slavery in Early Islam (2010), Imam Shafi‘i: Scholar and Saint (2011), and The Lives of Muhammad (2014), about modern Muslim and non-Muslim biographies of Islam’s prophet. She has also co-edited the revised edition of A Guide for Women in Religion, which provides guidance for careers in religious studies and theology (2014).
