Nevin Reda is an Associate Professor of Muslim Studies at Emmanuel College, Victoria University in the University of Toronto. Her research spans Qurʾanic studies, Islamic ethical-legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh), and interreligious pedagogy.
With a primary focus on Qurʾanic studies, Reda integrates perspectives from literary theory, Islamic spiritual care, and Biblical Hebrew, in which she holds a master’s degree. Her current work examines the structure and organization of the Qurʾan, particularly Surat al-Anʿām, in what she terms the poetics and hermeneutics of Qurʾanic narrative structure. In uṣūl al-fiqh, she focuses on developing methodologies that promote greater equity and justice, including her collaboration with Musawah on the “Building Egalitarian Ethics and Jurisprudence of Muslim Marriages” project.
At Emmanuel College, Reda’s interest in interreligious pedagogy has led her to explore connections between Christian practical theology and Islamic theological traditions.
