at Leiden University, The Netherlands from 2003-2010. Since 2010 he has been Professor of Sociology and of Middle East Studies at University of Illinois and has held the Catherine and Bruce Bastian Chair of Global and Transnational Studies since 2012. Bayat is the recipient of prestigious fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, Ford and MacArthur foundations. Bayat coined the term, "post-Islamism" in a 1996 essay titled, "The Coming of the Post-Islamist Society." He further developed the idea in a subsequent book, 'Making Islam Democratic: Social Movement and the Post-Islamist Turn (Stanford University Press, 2007). He further refined the concept in collection with scholars of political Islam throughout the Muslim world titled, Post-Islamism: The Changing Faces of Political Islam(Oxford University Press, 2012). This idea has instigated intellectual and political debates in many Muslim majority countries, in particular Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco and Iran. Bayat has also contributed to social movement theory with his concepts of "quiet encroachment," "social non-movements," and the "politics of presence." These ideas have developed through the years and have culminated in his book, Life as Politics: How Ordinary People Change the Middle East (Stanford University Press, 2013). His understanding of the Arab Uprisings of 2010/2011, and the introduction of the concept, "Refolution," are presented in his recent book, Revolution without Revolutionaries: Making Sense of the Arab Spring (Stanford University Press, 2017).
