Islamic law, legal theory, theology, philosophy, exegesis, and history.

Overview

Aun Hasan Ali joined the Department of Religious Studies in 2015. He received his PhD from McGill University鈥檚 Institute of Islamic Studies. His research focuses on the intellectual history of Twelver Shi鈥檌sm, particularly law and legal theory. His first book, , builds upon recent scholarship in the fields of Religious Studies and Anthropology to argue that Twelver Shi'ism is better understood as a discursive tradition. At CU Boulder, Ali teaches Religious Dimensions of Human Experience, Islam, The Quran, Sufism, and Fundamentalisms. In addition to intellectual history, he maintains an interest in Urdu and Persian literature.
