From a cognitive perspective, my research looks at the role of religious disciplinary practices in cultivating affective and perceptual dispositions that enable and facilitate forms of religious experience, particularly in the context of varieties of Sufi practices. Using literature in embodied, enactive, and extended cognition, I am interested in exploring how the body shapes and is shaped by these experiences and collective practices. By studying Islamic rituals as disciplinary practices in this sense, it is possible to investigate not only how the moving body functions in religious experience and ritual, but also how diverse discourses about those practices have impacted local and transnational interpretations and manifestations of Sufism.
