About Stephan Kokew
I joined PIIT in October 2024. I studied Islamic Studies, Arabic Studies and Religious Studies (Religionswissenschaft) in Freiburg and Leipzig and completed my Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig on contemporary discourses of tolerance in the Islamic world. I am currently working on the modern Arabic reception of a classic work of Islamic theology. Furthermore, I am interested in the historical development and current re-evaluation of Islamic ethical concepts in the Qur'an and in Islamic intellectual history that relate to the coexistence of Muslims and non-Muslims.
