Career

While there, she published a number of works on the life of Medieval Andalusian theologian Ibn Hazm and his views.[3][4] During this time, she also contributed to a book on inter-religious polemics and rational theology. Adang was also a fellow at The Woolf Institute in Cambridge as of 2011. During this time, she delivered a seminar on Muslim-Jewish polemics in Medieval Spain which was noted for Adang's definition of Muslim Fatwas are merely legal verdicts, rather than "death sentences" as popularly portrayed in the media,[5] in addition to chairing a roundtable discussion of linguistic influences on Judeo-Muslim exchanges.[6]
