Sara R. Farris is Assistant Professor in sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Her work to date has focused on both the orientalist underpinnings of sociological theory, which she explored in her first monograph on Max Weber’s sociology of religion, and on theories of gender, race and social reproduction, particularly as they apply to the analysis of migrant women in Western Europe. She authored Max Weber’s Theory of Personality: Individuation, Politics and Orientalism in the Sociology of Religion (Brill, 2013) and In the Name of Women’s Rights. Migration, Islam and the Rise of Femonationalism (Duke University Press, 2017).
