Women of Islamic Studies is a crowdsourced database
of women scholars who work on Muslims and Islam. This ongoing project is
in its beta version. Once sufficient data has been collected I will
partner with a university for a more stable home.
Women of Islamic Studies is intended to contest
the prevalence of all-male and male dominated academic domains, such
as editorial boards, conference panels, publications, guest speakers,
bibliographies, books reviews, etc. and provide resources to support the
recognition, citation, and inclusion of women scholars in the field of
Islamic Studies. Anyone who identifies as a woman, gender
non-conforming, or non-binary is welcomed on the list. The scholars
listed come from a wide variety of disciplines and perspectives.
“Islamic Studies” is meant to be as inclusive as possible, meaning
anyone whose expertise is related to the understanding of Muslims and
the Islamic tradition, and intended to demarcate a disciplinary
boundary. Please feel free to list any relevant scholars who work on
Islam and Muslims in any capacity. The crowdsourced contents are made
possible by many contributors. Please add to our list and help spread
the word.
