We invite you to attend the lecture, “The Trial of al-Afshin: An Attempt to Curb Turkish Dominance or a Symptom of the Abbasid State’s Structural Decline?,” presented by Dr. Ahmed Miloud.
The study examines al-Afshin’s dramatic rise and fall under Caliph al-Mu‘tasim as a reflection of the Abbasid Empire’s deeper structural weaknesses—namely institutional fragility and the militarization of power—rather than mere ethnic conflict.
Dr. Ahmed Miloud, Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the American University of Kuwait, holds advanced degrees from the University of Arizona and the University of Wyoming. He has taught at William & Mary and Virginia Commonwealth University and is the author of, The Righteous State: The Religious Foundations of an Islamic Liberal Theory.
