In this episode, we explore the various methodological approaches used to study debates on gender, sex, and sexuality within Islamic contexts. We examine the methods that allow for nuanced and meaningful engagement with these sensitive topics, reflecting on how careful textual analysis and contextual understanding can produce richer insights. By sharing the approaches we apply in our research, we aim to guide listeners through the complexities of studying these debates and demonstrate how methodology shapes interpretation and discussion in the study of Islamic gender and sexuality.
