About the event
We unpacked two decades of Dr. Philippon's research on Sufism in Pakistan and Iraq, examining its political mobilisations, interactions with state policies, and role in global security narratives in the post-9/11 era.
The lecture offered an ethnographic and political analysis of how Sufism is instrumentalised, politicised, and often misrepresented as a counterbalance to radical Islamism.
