PhD Program in Theology and Religious Studies lecture series, Feb 10, 2025, 5pm in our seminar room, New North 107. Employing a method of perspectival comparison, this presentation will explore how the tradition of Ifa interprets Islam, and the various ways in which the Islamic tradition has interpreted Ifa. Then turning to reflections on contemporary academic comparison, it will examine what these traditions of interpretation reveal about each other and recent academic practices of interpretation and comparison. Co-sponsored by Global Medieval Studies.
