His publications are forthcoming in Comparative Studies in Society and History and Southeast Asia Research. His forthcoming book explains the meaning of tolerance to the leaders of the world’s largest Islamic organizations in order to understand how their values shape politics in a Muslim-majority democracy. Based on twenty-four months of field research, the book intervenes in major debates about religion and modernity, Islam and politics, and the future of political theory in a post-secular world. After receiving his PhD in political science from the University of Wisconsin, he held fellowships at Columbia University, Stanford University, and the American University of Beirut before joining Boston University, where he coordinates the MA program in International Relations and Religion.
