The Ummatic Imperative to Decolonize the Social Sciences: Multiplexity: New Approaches to Knowledge by Dr. Recep ŞentürkOne of the most critical issues facing the Ummah is achieving intellectual and academic independence in social sciences, moving away from the dominant Eurocentric perspectives that are often positivistic, materialistic, modern, or postmodern. In this CIK Talk, Prof. Recep Şentürk, a leading Muslim intellectual and institution builder, discussed how the Ummah can leverage its rich intellectual heritage to offer new alternatives to modern Eurocentric social sciences.
