At the workshop “Perspectives in Motion: Conceptual Fields from the Global South” hosted by ZMO, I presented findings from my research on Islamic knowledge production in Francophone West Africa. Drawing on a corpus of 1,500 Islamic periodicals from Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Togo, my presentation [“Tracing Islamic Knowledge Production in Francophone West African Newspapers (1990-Present)”](https://www.frederickmadore.com/communications/tracing-islamic-knowledge-production.md) examined how Western-educated Muslim intellectuals navigate multiple epistemological traditions to create new theoretical frameworks.
