God Knows Best

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arabic phrase Allāhu a‘lam—“God knows best”—is used frequently in everyday Muslim speech and to conclude seemingly assertive statements or fatwas. At its heart lies the recognition that God is the All‐Knowing, whereas humans know next to nothing. Reflecting on this recognition, this essay discusses Sufi refusals of the ethnographic project

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative.

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Less hierarchical, self‐managing, agile, alternative: so‐called “new organizational forms” draw interest from scholars and practitioners alike. Despite an abundance of both conceptual and empirical research, the “new organizational form” concept remains elusive, capturing a growing diversity of phenomena and labels.

The Interactive Impact of Regulation, Entrepreneurship, and Cultural Values on Technology Adoption: Renewable Energy in the EU

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract How can diverse sources legitimize new technology when it lacks economic parity? Government policies that endorse nascent technologies play a central role through regulatory legitimation. Yet, we know less about whether inducement policies that incentivize adoption or imposition policies that mandate it are more effective, and how that ...

Moralized Identities in and Around Organizations: An Identity Work Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we examine the literature on moralized identities – the range of identities that people construct for themselves that are underpinned by issues of morality. We problematize traditional theorizing by drawing on the identity work perspective to provide an explanatory framework that diverts attention away from a focus on what ...

Building knowledge-based systems by credal networks: a tutorial [PDF]

, 2020
Credal networks enhance robustness and modelling power of Bayesian networks by allowing for the specification of credal sets (i.e., convex sets of probability mass functions), instead of single conditional mass functions in the model ...

Code and Creed: The Construction of AI‐Islamic Discourse in Singapore's Media Landscape

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how Singapore's mainstream media shapes public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) in Islamic contexts through analysis of newspaper coverage from 1989 to 2024. Drawing on computational analysis of over 620,000 articles from The Straits Times and The Business Times, we develop the concept of “double mediation” to ...
