He is interested in how knowledge is conceived, shared and transmitted for human growth and actualisation. Dr. Zaman works with pre-modern ideas of learning and human development as well writing on contemporary education, specifically on themes of the Knowledge Society, higher education and the imagination. He works in curriculum development with non-profit urban and rural educational projects in the USA, UK, and Pakistan, teacher training and educational innovation. Dr. Zaman completed his PhD in 2019 at the University of Cambridge with a dissertation examining the future of the University in the Knowledge Society. He joined the Center for Islamic Theology at the University of Tuebingen where his research explored Islamic education, craft and experiential knowledge and education and curriculum development. During his time as a postdoctoral researcher, he received a 145,000 Euros grant from the Baden Württemberg Stiftung to launch a four-year project, Internationalizing, Learning and Mentoring (ILM). The project, completed in 2024, was designed as a teaching exchange and training program for student-teachers of religious education in Germany to dialogue and learn best practices from educators across the European context, especially in the UK and Bosnia Herzegovina. His current research at Bogazici explores patterns of education across history and varying geographies as well as educational innovation in the field of humanities education.
