Episode description
Is astrology real? Or merely a superstition that ancient societies once believed in?
Professor Ali discusses all things astrology with me in what was a truly eye opening conversation
Ali A Olomi is an Assistant Professor of History at Penn State Abington. He researches, writes, and teaches on how Muslims imagined their world through the intersection of science and religion in the service of empire. His work examines discourses of cosmology, geography, and gender and sexuality and how they were drawn together to fashion ideas of a Muslim "homeland." He also examines how premodern intellectual history was drawn into the religious nationalism of the 19th and 20th century.
