Research

Katherine Lemons is researching Islamic law and secularism. She am currently conducting field research in Delhi and Lucknow, India, where I am looking at different bodies of local adjudication, both Muslim and secular, attending to the ways in which the two work together as well as at cross-purposes and in which they are informed by one another. The various ways in which gender works and is made to work in these contexts is central to the research.
