About the Lecturer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nariman Aavani is a scholar of Islamic philosophy and Sufi literature in the Perso-Indian world from the Ilkhanid to the Mughal period (c. 1200\u20131850). He received his PhD from Harvard University and is currently an Associate in the Intellectual History of Islam in South Asia at Harvard University. His first book project examines the intersection of philosophy, literature, and Sufism in seventeenth-century India, with a particular focus on the writings of the Naqshbandi Sufi Khwaja Khurd (d.c. 1662). His research also includes the Hindu reception of Rumi\u2019s <\/span>Masnavi<\/span><\/em> in Mughal India, and he has an upcoming article on the philosophy of mind in post-classical Islamic philosophy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[46],"event-audience":[],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"\nSilence, Sound, and the Sacred in the Spirituality of Rumi -
