The best thing about hosting New Books in Islamic Studies for over 5 years has been all the wonderful connections I’ve made through a number of very interesting conversations. One special bonus is that my friend and co-host SherAli Tareen generously had me as a guest to talk about my new book, Interpreting Islam in China: Pilgrimage, Scripture, and Language in the Han Kitab.

You can take a listen to our conversation here. If it sparks your interest the book is now available at OUP or Amazon.
