Ismail Albayrak is a professorial fellow at Australian Catholic University. He has taught and written on Qur’anic studies (both classical and contemporary approaches to the Qur’an), interfaith dialogue, and orientalism. He is also interested in the place of Muslim communities and their activities in a globalizing world, where interfaith dialogue is becoming increasingly more essential. His most recent research focuses on the Ibadi tradition, the relationship between sounds and meaning in the Qur’an, classical prison literature in Islamic societies, and the status of women in Islamic traditions.
