MEMO in conversation with Usaama Al-Azami

Join us for a conversation with Dr Usaama Al-Azami, a departmental lecturer in Contemporary Islamic Studies at the University of Oxford, as we discuss his book ‘Islam and the Arab Revolutions’ which looks at the way in which influential Islamic scholars responded to the Arab uprisings of 2011 through 2013.

Dr Al-Azami holds a PhD in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University, including a dissertation titled ‘Modern Islamic Political Thought: Islamism in the Arab World from the Late Twentieth to the Early Twenty-first Centuries’. Alongside his university career, he also pursued Islamic studies in seminarial settings in which he has also subsequently taught.
