Silk Road Seminar - Khalil Andani

Thank you for joining us LIVE for our monthly Silk Road Seminar! Today's guest is Khalil Andani, an Assistant Professor of Religion at Augustana College whose research focuses on Islamic philosophy, Ismaili thought, Sufism, and Qur'anic studies. Khalil is especially known for his work on esoteric hermeneutics and mystical cognition in the Islamic intellectual tradition. Silk Road Seminars are a live event where John weaves together threads from his various theoretical conversations along with a distinguished guest. These hour-long conversations are live on YouTube followed by an exclusive Q&A, where you can ask questions directly to John and his guest. To be entered onto the guest list for these Q&As, you can sign up at the Gamma Tier (and above) on The Lectern at https://lectern.teachable.com/p/lecte... Currently enrolled university students at all levels up to doctoral studies get free access to the Q&A.
