Professor Berkey teaches the full range of Middle Eastern history since the rise of Islam, and in addition participates in Davidson's Humanities Program. His research and writing focus on Islamic religious culture and medieval Egypt and Syria. He is the author of The Transmission of Knowledge in Medieval Cairo: A Social History of Islamic Education (Princeton University Press, 1992), and Popular Preaching and Religious Authority in the Medieval Islamic Near East (University of Washington Press, 2001).

 

Dr. Berkey’s most recent book, The Formation of Islam: Religion and Society in the Near East, 600–1800 (Cambridge University Press, 2003), received the top annual book prize from the Middle East Studies Association (MESA).

Sardis welcomes Dr. Fuji Lozada, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Director of Asian Studies at Davidson College.  Prior to coming to Davidson College, he taught anthropology for three years at Butler University in Indianapolis, and before that at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.  Dr. Lozada has recently returned from a trip to China and will share his experiences and the importance to the world of the religion and politics of China.

We are excited about the opportunity to bring these outstanding speakers to Sardis – Mark your calendars to join us for these special classes – all will be held in the Fellowship Hall during the Sunday School hour (9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.).
