To the longstanding debate about normativity in religious studies, and more specifically in the field of Islamic studies, this contribution to the roundtable adds a new dimension: the claim that it is important to recognize a variety of normativities at work in any field of the humanities, which in turn decenters the exclusive focus on religious normativity in our field. My contribution is based on the particular dynamics of a research project on American Muslim efforts against domestic violence. I argue that as a feminist scholar of Islam, I am faced with a number of particular challenges, including the politics of public representations of Islam and Muslims and critiques of both feminist theory and Muslim communal practice, all toward the larger and deeply political goal of working in the humanities to change the world in which we live.
