Mosa Sayed serves as Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in International Private and Procedural Law at Uppsala University's Department of Law, specializing in legal challenges arising from Sweden's multicultural transformation. Their work critically examines tensions between religious legal traditions and secular state systems, with particular focus on Islamic law's interaction with Swedish jurisprudence. Education: Juris Doctor in Private International Law (2010) Bachelor of Laws (2003) Research concentrates on three interconnected domains: First, international private law complexities in globalized contexts where religious legal rules confront state courts, especially regarding normative pluralism. Second, rigorous analysis of Islamic family and inheritance law systems, identifying conflicts with secular Swedish values and proposing frameworks for legal accommodation. Third, investigation of religious organizations' formal/informal legal functions, including alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and their societal implications. This tripartite approach reveals systemic tensions in multicultural legal governance while offering pragmatic pathways for coexistence. Publication trends from 2013-2019 demonstrate consistent scholarly engagement with Islamic law's practical manifestations in Swedish legal practice. Key thematic clusters include marital agreements (particularly mahr), inheritance systems across Shia/Sunni traditions, forced marriage interventions, and abortion jurisprudence within Islamic frameworks. Methodologically, the work bridges comparative law, socio-legal studies, and religious studies to expose how normative pluralism challenges state legal monopolies while proposing context-sensitive accommodation models for European legal systems. Awards: No scientific awards documented in source materials Advising and funding activities remain unspecified in available records, though research outputs indicate substantial independent scholarship and collaborative projects with scholars like Margareta Brattström and Göran Larsson. The absence of explicit grant mentions suggests institutional funding or independent research initiatives rather than major external awards. No dedicated laboratories or formal research teams are referenced, though publications indicate cross-institutional collaborations typical of Scandinavian legal academia. Research appears conducted within Uppsala University's Department of Law framework, leveraging Sweden's unique position in European religious-legal accommodation debates.
