Dr. Mahjabeen Dhala is Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California where she also serves as Chair of the Women’s Studies in Religion program and co-editor of the Journal for Teaching Theology and Religions. Dr. Dhala’s work focuses on retrieving the narratives of premodern Muslim women as theologians, exegetes, and activists. Her recent book from Cambridge University Press titled Feminist Theology and Social Justice in Islam: A Study on the Sermon of Fatima offers a fresh approach of exploring this seventh-century sermon from feminist and social justice perspectives. Dr. Dhala also received a Wabash grant to conduct research on the state of Muslim female theologians and exegetes in the contemporary academic and community landscapes. As a community leader, Dr. Dhala has served Shia communities worldwide for the past 25 years in the capacity of speaker, teacher, and pilgrim guide.
