Dr Shuruq Naguib is a senior lecturer in Islamic Studies at Lancaster University, UK. She received her PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Manchester, Department of Middle Eastern Studies.

Dr Naguib specialises in Qur’anic hermeneutics, classical Arabic rhetoric (balāgha), and gender in Islamic thought. Dr Naguib is also a scholar on gender and Qur’anic interpretation. Her research highlights the contributions of women exegetes—most notably Bint al-Shāṭiʾ—and engages critically with feminist hermeneutics.

Dr Naguib has led major research projects, including “Muslim Women Reading Religious Texts in Britain and Egypt.” She was also co-investigator on the AHRC-funded “Representing Islam on Campus” project. Across all her research, she foregrounds the interplay between textual form, interpretive tradition, and lived religious experience.
