Biography and Education
I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where I have been a faculty member since 2010. My research focuses primarily on Analytic Philosophy of Religion and Islamic Philosophy. Across these two areas, I am especially interested in the topics of faith and reason, religious epistemology, religious diversity and religious pluralism. I also have an interest in Ancient Philosophy and its reception by Jewish, Christian and Islamic thinkers in the Medieval era. My book Islam: A Contemporary Philosophical Investigation (Routledge, 2018) brings reflection on many of these topics to bear on the Philosophy of Religion. I have also published several essays in a variety of academic journals and books.
