Timothy Gutmann

This is the personal scholarship page for Timothy Gutmann. My PhD in religion is from the University of Chicago. I focus on Islamic and East Asian thought.

My research and teaching also focus on diverse traditions of educational theory and practice, the politics of belonging and the minority question, and liberalism in contemporary society.

Having taught at the UChicago and elsewhere, I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the University of Southern Mississippi. I split my time between Hattiesburg and Chicago.

Whys and Hows

October 13, 2014  /  Timothy Gutmann

This blog is for updates. I want to update about progress on the dissertation- the opus (magnum or not), and where it might go. The bigger picture is research, and I hope to invite comment, critique and collaboration, such as we have them in places like these. The bigger bigger picture is for journeys of learning we take and that take us.

Also involved: politics, the arts, literature, religion and the modern town.

Postscript of prohibition: I want to try to write these dispatches avoiding foul language; at least for me, I'd like to go without the following words: culture(d), faith, spirit(ual), innovation, syncretism, ideology.
