Listen "Islam, coloniality, and the pedagogy of cognitive liberation"
Episode Synopsis
In the episode, Ibrar Bhatt talks with Joseph Lumbard about Eurocentric intellectual dominance within the academic study of Islam in higher education. Such imbalance, both in the West and in Muslim communities, discourages critical heuristic engagement with the rich intellectual heritage of Islam. This is a missed opportunity, as Islamic intellectual traditions, particularly in metaphysics and theology, can be employed to offer vital perspectives for teaching in higher education.
