Presentation by Zenia Henriksen, University of Southern Denmark.

This presentation introduces the research project Quranatura and examines contemporary Muslim environmentalism through the case of the Qur’anic Botanic Garden in Doha, Qatar. It explores how Qur’anic texts and Islamic traditions are mobilized to articulate environmental ethics and sustainability initiatives, and considers the garden’s role within broader debates on religious environmentalism, activism, and state-led green agendas.

COFFEE, TEA, AND PASTRIES ARE SERVED AFTER EACH SEMINAR.
ALL WARMLY WELCMOME!
