Ankara Anatolian High School (German), Turkey (2000). Doctoral Dissertation: Sufi Paths of Negative Speech: Apophasis in Thirteenth Century Islamic Mysticism. My dissertation focuses on negative speech (apophasis) in Islamic thought, specifically negative theological paths in thirteenth century Sufism. The dissertation (i) problematizes the current approaches to apophasis and negative theologies in the study of religion, particularly in relation to Islam, (ii) constructs the first genealogy of the terms “apophasis” and “negative theology,” (iii) presents in-depth case studies that provide refined, contextualized analyses of Sufi performances of apophasis in the field of theology. I bring a fresh perspective to the field by approaching “apophasis” and “negative theology” as second-order, scholarly categories that are not sui generis religious, theological, or mystical. This perspective shift allows me to argue that contemporary studies on apophasis and negative theologies, as well as their reflections on Islamic Studies, are in large part responses to the challenges and demands of modernity. The remaining chapters of the dissertation focus on various negative theological positions on the divine essence in thirteenth century Sufism. This work not only constitutes the first book-length study of negative theologies in medieval Islam, it also makes wider theoretical contributions to the field by showing that negative speech, like every speech-act, is a historically embedded performance that should be carefully contextualized within the multi- layered discursive spaces that it affirms in order to operate.

Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal.

  • Annual Report
    Annual Report THE 2005-2006 ACADEMIC YEAR AT THE UB Foreword from the Rector The 2005-2006 academic year - the Annual Report for which you will find immediately after this foreword - has been my first complete academic year in charge of the governing bodies of the University of Barcelona. Having spent more than a year as head of this University, I count myself extremely fortunate to represent not only one of the most prestigious educational and social institutions in Catalonia, but also one of the leading universities in Spain and within the European Union. Thanks to the efforts of all of its members, the UB is firmly establishing itself as a recognized university of excellence, and one that enjoys considerable social recognition for its commitment to the economic and social development of Catalonia and Spain. Today, the UB is held in high regard around the world, as shown by several indicators published by international bodies whose job it is to measure the quality of higher education institutions. This Annual Report provides insights into much of the intensive activity being undertaken in this University. This work is a clear reflection of the effort and commitment dedicated to it by so many individuals including academic staff and administrative and services. Similarly, my thanks to all the students of the UB, without whom there would, quite simply, be no university. Your dedication to your studies, your involvement, your confidence and enthusiasm for all that you must do, makes everything possible or, at least, much more feasible and achievable. Yet, beneath the facts and figures, and beyond the various activities of the UB captured in this Annual Report, I should like to emphasize the dynamic and thriving nature of this University, which depends upon the rich diversity of the members of the university community and the confidence and conviction of all those that belong to this great University.
