Co-producer , Exeter University

Personal Profile:

I am a PhD research student at the Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. I am particularly interested in Gender, Race and Sexuality in Islam and the Islamic world with a specific focus on the experiences of Black Muslim women and gender minority people within the Muslim community and how our Blackness shapes our relationship with the wider Muslim community. My work looks at anti-blackness within the Muslim community and whether or not Black Muslims, specifically Black Muslim women and gender minority individuals are included or feel included in the ummah. I am engaged in this project as the co-producer of some podcasts concerning sex, gender, and sexuality in Islamic legal and ethical arenas.
