My research focuses on junctions for the transfer of religions and traditions in the late pre-modern and modern periods. My two most recent books are collections, Anarchist, Artist, Sufi: The Politics, Painting, and Esotericism of Ivan Aguéli (Bloomsbury, 2021) and Esoteric Transfers and Constructions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (with Francesco Piraino; Palgrave, 2021). A monograph, Traditionalism: An Introduction (Penguin) is due out in 2022.
In addition,
- on the Islamic side, I have published a biography of Muhammad Abduh (2009), as well as two books on Sufism: Saints and Sons (2005), dealing with the history of a group of Sufi orders, and Sufism: The Essentials (first published in 2000, and now reprinted and translated into several languages). An introduction to Islam with a difference--Islam and Muslims--came out in 2006. I have also published various articles on sectarianism, religious change, and terrorism, such as "The concept of radicalization as a source of confusion" (in Terrorism and Political Violence, 2010).
- on the Western side, my most recent book is an edited collection, Key Thinkers of the Radical Right: Behind the New Threat to Liberal Democracy (2019), and my most recent mongraph is Western Sufism: From the Abbasids to the New Age (2016). I have also published a collected volume on Making European Muslims: Religious Socialization Among Young Muslims in Scandinavia and Western Europe (2014), which was one outcome of a collective project I ran on Islam, Muslims and Danish Schools, and on Guénonian Traditionalism, an anti-modernist movement which takes political as well as religious and philosophical forms, and has recently spread to the Islamic world and Russia. This project resulted in a book, Against the Modern World (2004), an active blog, a website that is no longer updated (traditionalists.org), and a number of articles. Against the Modern World has now been translated into French, German, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Serbian, and Turkish, and a Persian translation is in preparation.
- My current major project is an EU-funded project, DRIVE: Resisting Radicalisation Through Inclusion, with partners from five other European universities.
I am coordinator of the Arab and Islamic Studies Research Network (ICSRU) at Aarhus University. I am also convenor of the European Network for the Study of Islam and Esotericism and chair of the Nordic Society for Middle Eastern Studies.
