DESCRIPTION:The Old Women of Nishapur: an Initiative on Gender\, Knowledge 
 and Religion\,\n\ntogether with The Institute of Islamic Studies and The D
 epartment of Anthropology at 9IÖĆ×÷ł§Ăâ·Ń\n\nInvite you to a talk by\n\nSertaç S
 ehlikoglu (UCL)\n\nGenealogy\, Critique\, and Decolonization: Ibn Khaldun 
 and Moving Beyond Filling the Gaps' \n\nTUESDAY\, November 7\, 5-7pm Morri
 ce Hall\, Room 328.\n\nThe aim of this talk is to locate critique at the i
 ntersections of the genealogy of knowledge in anthropological thinking and
  decolonizing movements. The paper approaches the decolonizing movement as
  one of the most crucial points in anthropological thinking\, as it can go
  beyond filling the gaps in genealogies by engaging with non-Eurocentric s
 cholarship and\, additionally\, by carrying the critical angles to the way
 s it engages with those non-Eurocentric scholarships. To illustrate\, it u
 ses the case of Ibn Khaldun\, an Arab scholar of social sciences and histo
 rical analysis from the 14th Century - who is often referred to as the fir
 st sociologist. On the one hand\, his influence on classical Western think
 ing is largely dismissed. On the other hand\, as a counter-response to thi
 s dismissal\, the new Islamic revivalist intelligentsia in the Muslim righ
 t engages with him in a selective manner that rejects that central critica
 l thinking and\, even worse\, sanctions the local regimes of power\, inclu
 ding that local canon. By locating his scholarship to multiple tropes in a
 nthropological theory and reading his evolutionist thinking vis-Ă -vis the 
 post-colonial literature in anthropology and sociology\, I question the li
 mits and possibilities of critical thinking within and beyond the decoloni
 zing movement.\n\nDr Sertaç Sehlikoglu is a social anthropologist and an a
 ssociate professor at University College London’s Institute of Global Pros
 perity. Her work focuses on intangible aspects of human subjectivity that 
 enable humans to change and transform social life. She is the recipient of
  a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant (2019)\, the author of “
 Working Our Desire: Women\, Sport and Self-Making in Istanbul” (2021) and 
 the co-editor of several journal issues\, including “The Everyday Makings 
 of Heteronormativity: Cross-Cultural Explorations of Sex\, Gender and Sexu
 ality” (2020). She is also the editor of the Journal of Middle East Women’
 s Studies’ Reviews Section.\n
