“Remembering Karbala Through Communal Care”, by Shereen Yousuf

Shereen Yousuf is a doctoral candidate in the Rhetoric, Politics and Culture program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research explores how Muslim communities in the U.S. draw from their faith and community knowledge to make sense of the social/political climate in the U.S., and how this informs Muslim-based activism. Prior to moving to Madison, Shereen was an adjunct instructor of intercultural communication, and was heavily involved in the Jafari Shia community in the Chicago-land area. She is currently working with the Shia Racial Justice Coalition to develop an anti-racism curriculum that specifically caters to Jafari Shia Muslim communities in the U.S. for her doctoral dissertation, bridging together her passions for decolonial theorizing, pedagogy, and liberatory community-based practices.

“Grief and Loss in Shi’i Thought” by Gianni Izzo

Gianni Izzo is doctoral candidate of Islamic studies in the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies at the University of Arizona.

Abstract:
My talk examines Zayn al-Din al-'Amili's Musakkin al-fuʾād, a treatise on the grief and consolation of losing a child. Al-'Amili's contribution to this genre offers a Shi'i view of divine justice and the problem of evil. According to this view, divine compensation is offered to the bereaved on the conditions of patient resignation and recognition of loss in relation to the ordeal and death suffered by the fourteen Infallibles. I analyze al-'Amili's use of prophetic narratives and hadith to explore their implications for an idealized expression of Muslim mourning and our understanding of Imam Husayn’s tragic fate.
