Md Mizanur Rahman is a PhD candidate in Politics with a DE in History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His scholarship sits at the intersection of political theory, intellectual history, and Islamic studies, with a particular focus on the relationship between Islam and liberalism in late colonial and postcolonial South Asia.
