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.

What I owe you- well, what I feel like I owe you, to kick the blog off in earnest:

Two personal reflections on Anglican traditions: "Nativity" on belonging and difference, "Singleness of Heart" on the habitation and appropriation amid difference.

"Malala and Jean-Paul" on Western laurel-politics and the charge of collaboration.

"Can Xi Jinping Save the Humanities?" on Chinese politics and the future of liberal arts education.

"Looking Backward"- questions about genealogy and scholarly methodology approaching Islamic texts.
