Timeline
Mark J. Sedgwick (born 20 July 1960) is a British historian of Islam.
He is Full Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at Aarhus University in Denmark.
Sedgwick is notable for pioneering historical research into the religious movement called Traditionalism.
Sedgwick was born in London, England.
He was educated in England at Harrow School, where he first became interested in history, and Worcester College, Oxford.
He did his PhD in Norway at the University of Bergen under the supervision of Professor Séan O'Fahey.
While living in Cairo in 1990, Sedgwick encountered Sufis from both the Naqshbandiyya tariqa and the Traditionalist Maryamiyya.
While not joining either group, he started research on Traditionalism in 1996.
Sedgwick first taught history at the American University in Cairo, Egypt.
He is best known for his work on Sufism and Traditionalism, especially for his Against the Modern World: Traditionalism and the Secret Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century (2004).
He is also known for his work on terrorism, especially for his 2004 article "Al-Qaeda and the nature of religious terrorism" in which he argues for understanding the terrorism of Al-Qaeda should be understood in political rather than religious terms.
He is a critic of the concept of radicalisation, which he argues is a "source of confusion."
Despite his association with the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism, he has argued that understanding Western esotericism as distinctly Western may no longer be appropriate.
Sedgwick has been accused of "an undisclosed personal history with Traditionalism" and, therefore, of having "a personal and undisclosed bias against Traditionalism".
He has also been accused of being a secret Traditionalist Sufi and part of a conspiracy against Enlightenment values.
He has pointed out that both charges can hardly be true at the same time and explained that his personal history with Traditionalism was early and limited.
He claims this did not result in any bias one way or the other.
In 2007 he moved to Aarhus University, Denmark as Coordinator of the Arab and Islamic Studies Unit.
His books have been translated into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Romanian, Serbian, and Turkish.
He was a founder member of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism, of which he was Secretary 2010–16.
He was elected to the board of the Nordic Society for Middle Eastern Studies in 2016, and was elected chairperson in 2019.
Sedgwick's earliest research was on Sufism in the Arab and Muslim world.
