Visiting Teaching Assistant Professor
Professional Biography
A PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder, whose research interests lie at the intersection of non-Western political thought and comparative politics. He previously held the position of Lecturer at the Department of International Relations at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Graduate Instructor of Record at the Department of Political Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He earned a "Best Should Teach" and a "Teaching Excellence" award at the University of Colorado, Boulder, for his commitment to advancing inclusive pedagogy.
Rezwan's research agenda actively seeks to bridge the gap between Western and non-Western perspectives concerning ideological extremism, scope for tolerance, and multifaith democracy. More specifically, his research examines both a) the ideological underpinnings of radical interpretations of the holy texts in Islam, and b) the tolerant traditions within the Islamic framework that embrace multifaith democracy and co-existence. Rezwan has extensive experience teaching undergraduate courses related to modern political ideologies, Western political thought, and American constitutional rights, especially debates around free speech.
