- **Event Name**: Beyond Specialization: An Islamic Vision of Education
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: What if the crisis in higher education is not just financial, but intellectual?

Across much of modern academia, knowledge has been fragmented into isolated disciplines, stripped of ethics and deeper purpose. In this lecture, Dr. Joseph E. B. Lumbard challenges this fragmentation by turning to Islamic intellectual history, where education aimed not at producing specialists, but at forming intellectually and morally integrated human beings. He highlights how Islamic knowledge traditions sustained an ecology of learning in which theology, philosophy, law, and the natural and social sciences informed one another rather than competing for authority.

Dr. Lumbard connects these intellectual foundations to the Islamic philanthropic mechanisms that made them durable. Institutions such as waqf did more than support education financially; they built independent centers of knowledge, sustained scholarly communities, and safeguarded intellectual plurality across generations.

By bringing together integrated knowledge and philanthropic institution-building, this lecture invites a bold rethinking of higher education where epistemology, ethics, and institutional design work together toward human flourishing.
