SUMMARY:Giving to God: On Islamic Charity in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:MICHIGAN\n"Giving to God: On Islamic Charity in Egypt."\nApril 
 13 | 4-6 PM\nPresented by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African 
 Studies at University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nAmira Mittermaier is an ass
 ociate professor in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Depar
 tment of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toront
 o. Bringing together textual analysis and ethnographic fieldwork\, her wor
 k to date has focused on Muslim everyday life in Egypt. Her award-winning 
 book\, Dreams that Matter: Egyptian Landscapes of the Imagination (Univers
 ity of California Press\, 2011) explores Muslim practices of dream interpr
 etation\, as they are inflected by Islamic reformism\, Western psychology\
 , and mass mediation. Mittermaier’s current book project examines modes 
 of almsgiving and food distribution in different religious spaces in Cairo
 . This project aims to think through how everyday acts of giving relate to
 \, and disrupt\, political calls for social justice in post-Mubarak Egypt.
