Dr Ramon Harvey lectures in Islamic theology within Cambridge Muslim College’s BA programme. Over the three years of the programme, students study a text in both ʿaqīda and ʿilm al-kalām in detail, as well as critical historical context of the development of these disciplines and ongoing contemporary discussions on them. His research currently focuses on the same area, with a special interest in the Māturīdī tradition, including the works of Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī (d. 944) and his successors in Transoxiana in the tenth and eleventh centuries. He argues that there are rich theological resources in this early tradition that, until recently, have been largely neglected by both broader Islamic thought and contemporary scholarship. Thus, as well as writing studies on this literature, he is involved in the editing, translation and commentary of key early texts to make them more accessible. Alongside his historical work, he is part of the constructive effort to renew Islamic theology (kalām jadīd), and explore its intersection with contemporary philosophical movements. With respect to analytic philosophy, he has worked on metaphysical and epistemological topics, whereas his activity in phenomenology has focused on the ideas of Edmund Husserl. He has presented his research in scholarly convenings around the UK, in the USA, Turkey, Germany, Italy and Qatar, and on various online platforms.
