She teaches courses in social theory, race and ethnicity, immigration and Women and Islam. Her work has been published in Signs, Meridians, Feminist Review, the Journal of Middle Eastern Women’s Studies and Totalitarian Movements & Political Religions. Her forthcoming book entitled Vanguard of a New Modernity? Women in the Jamaat-e-Islami of Pakistan is an ethnographic and textual study that seeks to offer a much needed South Asian perspective to the study of women, Islam and modernity. Claiming social, political, cultural and affective ties to Canada, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Jamal’s work straddles the domains of contemporary transnational feminist social and political theories and the rich spiritual, philosophical and political heritage of Islam and Muslims in South Asia.
