Profile
Dr Dastmalchian completed his doctoral studies at King’s College London. His research topic was religious diversity in contemporary epistemology of religion. This involved discussion of the way philosophers such as William Alston, John Hick, Alvin Plantinga, and Richard Swinburne have treated the challenge of religious diversity to religious belief.
Dr Dastmalchian has a Graduate Certificate in Academic Practice (fully accredited by the Higher Education Academy) and is Assistant Editor of the Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies.
