S. Ayse Kadayifci-Orellana

I offer significant research, publishing and teaching experience in the fields of religion, violence, and peacebuilding from a multi-disciplinary perspective combining historical, theological, sociological, anthropological, and comparative political science perspectives.

​

I am working on developing an Islam and Negotiation Action Guide for Muslim Women. Based on Quranic verses and Prophetic examples, this Action Guide offers practical tools to assist Muslim negotiators to more effectively organize, strategize and negotiate their rights and gender justice, secure human rights, and establish just political systems.

​

I am one of the co-editors of a book series: Religion Matters- On the Significance of Religion in Global Issues Book Series (co-edited with Christine Schliesser and Pauline Kollontai), Taylor Francis/Rutledge (under contract, expected minimum of three books published annually first book published, second and third ones are under contract)

​

My most recent co-edited book, On the Significance of Religion in Conflict and Conflict Resolution (First Book in the Religion Matters Book Series) explores how religion can be a source of conflict as well as peacebuilding. 

​

I also co-authored the edited the volume, “Anthology on Islam and Peace and Conflict Resolution in Islam: Precept and Practice.”

​

My dissertation was published under the title of: Standing On an Isthmus: Islamic Narratives of War and Peace in the Palestinian Territories.”

​

I have also written various book chapters and journal articles on Muslim women’s peacebuilding initiatives, mediation and peace building, religion and conflict resolution, interfaith dialogue, Islamic approaches to war and peace, and Islam and nonviolence.
