Basit Bilal Koshul is an associate professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in Lahore, Pakistan. He received his first PhD in 2003 from Drew University in Religion and Society (specializing in the sociology of religion). He received a second PhD in 2011 from the University of Virginia in Religious Studies (specializing in theology, ethics and culture with a focus on Scriptural Reasoning). After teaching at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN for four years, he joined the Dept. of Humanities and Social Sciences at LUMS in 2006. The focus of his research is to recover the neglected resources in modern thought and religious tradition (especially scripture) that can help to transform the mutually debilitating dichotomies of religion/science, North/South, West/Islam, economics/ethics, security/rights etc. into mutually enriching relationships. He sees the work of Muhammad Iqbal, Charles Peirce, and Max Weber, individually but much more so collectively, as a promising starting point for initiating the transformation of divides into relationships.
