Farish A. Noor

Farish A. Noor

Dr. Farish Ahmad Noor (also Dr. Badrol Hisham Ahmad-Noor, born 15 May, 1967 in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia) is a Malaysia author and researcher currently attached to Zentrum Moderner Orient (Centre for Modern Oriental Studies) in Berlin, Germany. He is also a senior fellow at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

He received his BA in Philosophy & Literature from the University of Sussex in 1989, before studying for an MA in Philosophy at the same University in 1990, an MA in South-East Asian Studies at the School of Oriental & Asian Studies in London, before completing his PhD at the University of Essex in 1997.

Dr. Noor's teaching credits include the Centre for Civilisational Dialogue, University of Malaya and the Institute for Islamic Studies, Free University Berlin.

Farish A. Noor's blog articles comment upon, attempt to interpret, and build bridges over the conflict between Islam and Judeo-Christian cultures. The perspectives Dr. Noor expresses give his writing a reasoned tone, not favoring either side, but instead analyzing how the sides fail to communicate and accept each other.

Farish has also appeared in the semi-documentary film "The Big Durian", directed by Amir Muhammad.
