Nada Moumtaz is Assistant Professor in the Study of Religion and Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. She has a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her research stands at the intersection of Islamic legal studies, the anthropology of Islam, and studies of capitalism, and spans the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries in the Levant. Throughout her work, she addresses how, beginning in the nineteenth century, Islamic tradition has transformed while continuing to challenge and provide alternatives to dominant sensibilities, conceptions, and institutions of the modern world. She is currently preparing her book
Remaking Islamic Charity: Economy, Religion, and Law in Modern Beirut for publication.
