Roqiyul Maarif Syam
PhD Candidate in Law, A Moderate Moslem, and a Social Activist
About Roqiyul
I am a doctoral researcher in law, focusing on constitutionalism, political economy, and social dynamics, with a particular interest in Indonesia and the Global South.
Beyond academia, I am deeply involved in religious and social life. I am affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama and contribute to the activities of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). Furthermore, I teach at the Al-Ihya' Islamic Boarding School in Cirebon, where I engage with students in discussions on Islamic studies and contemporary issues.
My work is driven by a commitment to bridge the gap between academic scholarship and social reality—connecting law, religion, and society in a meaningful and transformative way."
