  • 2013-14 Annual Report Mission Statement
    http://ircpl.org/wp-main/uploads/sezgin.jpg IRCPL institute for religion, culture, and public life at Columbia University in the City of New York 2013-14 Annual Report Mission Statement The revitalization of religion in the last four decades has taken many scholars and analysts by surprise. They believed that modernization, secularization, and the privatization of religion would have global impact, leading to overall patterns of religious decline. What has happened is quite different and more complex. While religion has declined in some societies and grown in others, it has also changed and evolved in different ways in a variety of contexts. This transformation of religion, long-standing or novel, impacts our world in key ways. From the rise of religious movements, to the role of religion in politics and to the much more spirited engagement of religion in the public sphere and the public lives of adherents we experience religion in many different ways. To address this unexpected and rapidly changing situation, the Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life brings together scholars and students in religion, cultural anthropology, history, political science, economics, sociology and social psychology, and other allied fields to support multi-disciplinary analysis, reflection, and response to historical and contemporary issues of great significance. Founded in 2008, the Institute also engages in its programs political and economic figures and policy practitioners, as well as religious and cultural leaders. The scope of the Institute encompasses a broad range of phenomena, and while seeking to understand the bases of conflict and unrest across and within religions, it also examines beliefs, practices, and historical examples that demonstrate the potential for understanding, tolerance, and ecumenical values within religious traditions, as well as patterns of social institutions that may facilitate coexistence and mutual support.

  • Lisa Anderson by Lorlene Hoyt
    Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement: American University in Cairo President Lisa Anderson by Lorlene Hoyt May signals the eleventh installment of our Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement series. This issue features Dr. Lisa Anderson, American University in Cairo President and member of the Talloires Network’s Steering Committee. According to Dr. Lisa Anderson, her parents, “like many people in mid-twentieth century America, believed that science was the key to progress.” Both parents were “progressive, hopeful, and generous people who dedicated themselves to service.” Her father worked at a national laboratory and her mother “taught science to 11- and 12-year olds in the local public school.” Dr. Anderson served as Provost at the American University in Cairo (AUC) beginning in 2008 before the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to appoint her as AUC’s 11th and first female President in January 2011. Early on, she “went to college planning to become a civil rights lawyer,” but instead launched her “lifelong focus on North Africa” as an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence College in New York “when a professor assigned a research paper on Egypt.” In the mid-1970s, Dr. Anderson studied Arabic for a summer at AUC. “It was a hot and dusty summer before air conditioning was widespread,” she explained, “I remember thinking, correctly it turns out, I would never, ever master the language I was here to study.” Dr. Anderson then turned her attention to earning a Masters degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a doctorate in Political Science at Columbia University where she later served as Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.
