Welcome to the first episode of the Reorient.pl Podcast recorded entirely in English!

In this episode, Dr. Ewa Górska, the host of the show, sits down with a special guest, Professor Maurits Berger from Leiden University.

Together, they dive into Professor Berger's fascinating life story, exploring how a Dutchman came to study law and Arabic, and how his passion for the Middle East developed. They also discuss the reasons why a European lawyer would choose to study Islamic law in the Middle East.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into the myths and misconceptions surrounding Islam and how they are woven into the fabric of European culture. Dr. Górska and Professor Berger also explore the challenges of researching and teaching about Islam in the West, particularly in Europe.
