Performing faith and capital at the same time
Scholarship at the intersection of Islamic finance and Central Asian studies remains scarce. Drawing on my professional experience in Islamic finance and ethnographic fieldwork conducted at two industry events – Astana Finance Days (AFD 2025) in Kazakhstan and the 20th International Shariah Scholars Forum (ISSF 2025) in Uzbekistan – in this research note I argue that Islamic finance in Central Asia operates less as a religious practice or financi…
Beyond the end(s) of qualitative data analysis
In response to Duke’s (Citation2026) op ed, “Artificial Intelligence and the End(s) of Qualitative Data Analysis,” published in Human Organization (85, 1), and my own experience with AI-mediated research in Islamic finance, I engage with the ongoing dialogue on AI tools and qualitative research.

Twenty-eight university lecturers participated in the semi-structured interviews and expressed their opinions on how mobile technologies impacted the nature of teaching and learning in tertiary education. In particular, four themes associated with teaching English in the con…
