Entering the final year of the five-year seminar on Constructive Muslim Thought and Engaged Scholarship, this roundtable session gathers together scholars invested in the future of the field. Each discussant has been invited to offer brief remarks in response to the following prompts in order to seed a broader conversation with seminar attendees: As Muslims in the academy committed to engaged and/or constructive scholarship, describe what you think are the most productive trends contributing to the growth of engaged and constructive endeavors. Where do you see promise? Where do you see peril? What approaches, methods, and perspectives should this developing field be taking account of? What needs refinement? Where ought this work go in the years ahead? Where do you see your own work developing?
