My doctoral research was on female characterisation in the Qur’an, focusing on the Qur`an’s presentation of women’s voices. I researched further on the history of Muslim women’s contribution to the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa and published an article on this topic ‘Muslim Women against Apartheid: Muslims for Universal Values’ (2015).
Through my work at the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies Oxford, I connect to scholarship on the history of Islam and Christian-Muslim relations, and I facilitate the practice of scriptural reasoning. I have published various articles that read themes together from the Qur`an and Bible to understand what is different and what is held in common by these faiths.
PhD Studentship, 2003, University of Gloucestershire
I have lectured in a variety of settings at universities in South Africa and in the UK, both in secondary and tertiary education. At the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies Oxford, I worked as the international partnership coordinator, building links with individuals and organisations that seek to bring the study of religions out of their individual silos, to learn with and from each other.
