Join Muslims for Progressive Values and Dr. Hasib Nasiri for Reading Circles in Islamic Feminism 

About the Reading Circles: What happens when we revisit the ideas that reshaped how Muslim women understood faith, authority, and themselves? Muslims for Progressive Values is partnering with Dr. Hasib Nasiri to launch a new cycle of Reading Circles in Islamic Feminism — a year‑long journey into the thinkers, debates, and intellectual traditions that have defined Islamic feminist thought.

Dr. Nasiri’s work brings together Islamic philosophy, theology, and gender, with a focus on the often‑overlooked intellectual contributions of Muslim feminist scholars. These circles offer a reflective, intimate space where participants read, question, and engage deeply with Islamic feminist ideas — ideas frequently overshadowed by apologetics on one side and prejudice on the other.

Each group meets monthly in a small online cohort of 10 designed for depth, trust, and meaningful dialogue. Reading Circle I will begin in September 2026 and conclude in September 2027. 

Reading Circle Dates: The first Saturday of every month (September 5, October 3, November 7, December 5, January 2, February 6, March 6, April 3, May 1, June 5, July 3, August 7 & September 4)

Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT (Please note, because of Daylight Savings Time, the time will change to 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST for November 2026 - March 2027 sessions).

Reading Circle Pricing: $300 USD / participant for the full 12-month program

Cohort Size: Registration is limited to a maximum of 10 participants.
