Sedigheh Kh. Mousavi serves as a Lecturer in Persian language and literature at the Department of Oriental and Islamic Studies within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Tübingen, a position she has held since 2008. She earned her PhD in Islamic Studies from Tübingen in 2016 with a dissertation on Mulla Sadra's action theory, following prior teaching roles at Shahid-Beheshti University in Tehran (1994-2005) and the University of Bonn (2007-2009).
Her academic credentials include a Magister in Didactics of German Language from Tarbiat-Modares University (Tehran, 1994) and a Bachelor's degree in German Philology from Shahid-Beheshti University (Tehran, 1991).
Dr. Mousavi's research centers on Shi'ite philosophical traditions from the 13th to 17th centuries, with particular expertise in Mulla Sadra's metaphysics, action theory, and the School of Isfahan. She investigates classical Persian literary production alongside Safawid historical dynamics and modern Persian language pedagogy, demonstrating how theological concepts intersect with political history and literary expression in Islamic intellectual traditions. Her methodological approach bridges philological analysis with philosophical interpretation.
Her publication trajectory since 2017 reveals dual scholarly commitments: rigorous original research on Shi'ite theological concepts (particularly divine justice and action theory) and significant translation work making Persian scholarship accessible to German academia. The concentration of her output in journals like Spektrum Iran and The Turn highlights her focus on minority religious communities within Iran and the philosophical underpinnings of Islamic thought, with increasing editorial leadership evident in her 2025 edited volume on Imam Ali.
Dr. Mousavi maintains an active lecture schedule across German and Iranian academic institutions, addressing topics ranging from Lady Zaynab's historical role to Safawid-era theological developments. While her teaching portfolio emphasizes Persian language acquisition at all levels, her scholarly identity remains firmly rooted in advanced philosophical and historical analysis of Islamic traditions.
