Courseshare and DISC Lecture: Situating Rumi in Islam

Wednesday, February 7, 2018
4:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Humphrey 25

Rumi has been the best-selling poet in North America for twenty years, but most readers do not seem to be aware of his background and the mystical tradition which he belonged to. This talk
will shed light on these subjects to facilitate a more nuanced understanding of his message.

Presenter: Dr. Jawid Mojaddedi, Professor of Religion at Rutgers University.

This event is cosponsored by the center for Medieval Studies and the department of Asian Languages & Literatures. It is made possible through the support of the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) and BTAA Courseshare.
