Jeff Redding Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced researcher, educator, and administrator with substantial experience in the NGO, human rights, and development sectors. Over the past two decades, I have researched and taught around the world, often collaborating with local NGOs. I have worked in the United States, Pakistan, India, France, Australia, and Egypt. I have held research fellowships at Yale Law School (Oscar M. Ruebhausen program), Harvard Law School (Islamic Legal Studies Program), and Columbia Law School (Center for the Study of Law and Culture). Earlier in my career, I taught law in Pakistan while a recipient of a fellowship from the U.S. Fulbright Foundation and recently served as Dean and Professor of the Shaikh Ahmad Hassan School of Law at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. I am also the recent co-recipient of a Law and Society Association (LSA) Global Collaboration Grant and used this substantial grant to convene a Lahore-based workshop in late 2023 facilitating connections between global LSA networks and local communities of sociolegal researchers on South Asia.My substantial publication record includes the recent monograph A Secular Need: Islamic Law and State Governance in Contemporary India (University of Washington Press, Global South Asia series, 2020) and serving as co-editor of the pathbreaking volume Queer and Religious Alliances in Family Law Politics and Beyond (Anthem Press, 2022).I am available for short and long-term consultancies for organizations working in the areas of law, gender, or religion and am also interested in senior management and leadership roles within the NGO, human rights, and development sectors. As a lifelong educator, I am also interested in research and teaching roles within universities.
