Tanzeen Rashed Doha is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh. He holds a PhD in Anthropology from the University of California, Davis with a designated emphasis in Critical Theory, alongside MAs in Philosophy (San Jose State University) and Humanities (San Francisco State University). His research critically examines intersections of race, religion, and secularity, particularly focusing on Islamist thought, post-9/11 security regimes, and the Deobandi tradition in South Asia. He has held a Global Racial Justice postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University's Einaudi Center.
Dr. Doha's work includes two major ethnographic projects: analyzing ethical transformations among Bangladeshi Muslims after the 2013 Shapla massacre and investigating Rohingya-Deobandi interactions during Myanmar migration crises. He founded the journal Milestones: Commentary on the Islamic World and hosts the podcast Everything is Fire, sponsored by Cornell University. His teaching encompasses graduate seminars on critical theory, race-religion entanglements, and global Islam.
Key research themes include:
- Modern secularity's racialized structures
- Deobandi responses to state sovereignty
- Cartographic politics in humanitarian crises
- Islamic critiques of secularism
- Psycho-existential impacts of security regimes
His courses integrate phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and decolonial theory to interrogate Eurocentric thought frameworks. Current projects explore how Islamic traditions reconfigure geopolitical boundaries through transnational practices.
