Nadia Fadil works as an Associate Professor at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven. Her research centers on Islam in Europe (taking Brussels as ethnographic fieldsite), which she examines as a living tradition and as an object of regulation. She draws on this empirical question to reflect on a vast set of theoretical issues such as subjectivity and power, ethical selfhood, the body, postcoloniality, governmentality, security, race, and secularism.
She is the Principle Investigator of “Deradicalizing the City”.
