  • 2 | Dr Hina Khalid - Theological and Philosophical Worldviews of Muhammad Iqbal and Rabindranath Tagore

    Welcome to the Divinity Divulged podcast! The first podcast series from the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. In each episode we’ll be taking a look at one of the fascinating research projects happening within the Faculty through conversations with the researcher and an expert guest working in their field. Our discussions are aimed at all of those studying or exploring religious studies across all levels, and you can find details on how this episode relates to A Level and Scottish Highers Specifications below.

     

    In this episode we joined by Hina Khalid, at the time of recording PhD student here in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, to explore Hina’s PhD research which engages with the theological and philosophical worldviews of two titanic poets of the Indian subcontinent, Rabindranath Taghore and Muhammad Iqbal. Joining us for this one is Dr Ankur Barua, University Senior Lecturer in Hindu Studies also in the Faculty of Divinity.

     

    As we are taken through the theoretical and lyrical contributions of both thinkers, Hina guides us through cosmologies, accounts of human personhood, political and spiritual crossovers and ‘serious play’.

     

    We dearly hope you enjoy!

  • 1 | Prof Esra Özyürek - Holocaust Memory, Islam and 'Guilt' in Modern Germany

    Welcome to the Divinity Divulged podcast! The first podcast

    series from the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. In each episode we’ll be taking a look at one of the many fascinating research projects happening within the Faculty through conversations with the researcher and an
    expert guest working in their field. Our discussions are aimed at all of those studying or exploring religious studies across all levels, and you can find details on how this episode relates to A Level and Scottish Highers Specifications below.

     

    In this episode we are joined by Professor Esra Özyürek, Sultan Qaboos Professor of Abrahamic Faiths and Shared Values here in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, to discuss Esra’s recent book ‘Subcontractors of Guilt:

    Holocaust Memory and Muslim Belonging in Postwar Germany’. Alongside us is Dr Daniel Weiss, Polonsky-Coexist Senior Lecturer in Jewish Studies, also in the
    Faculty of Divinity.

     

    Examining holocaust memory, state/religion interactions and

    social integration in contemporary Germany, Esra describes to us rejections of social norms, the notion of ‘right/wrong emotions’, perceptions of responsibility and guilt and ‘civil religious pilgrimages’.

     

    We dearly hope you enjoy!
