Prior to joining the SLU LAW faculty, Professor Redding was an Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fellow in Law at Yale Law School. Prior to his time at Yale, he held research positions at Harvard Law School (Islamic Legal Studies Program) and Columbia Law School (Center for the Study of Law and Culture). He has also worked with various law-related organizations in Pakistan, India, and Egypt. During the summer of 2012, Professor Redding was a Visiting Professor at l’Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, France. Professor Redding earned his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School.

Professor Redding's research interests are in the areas of comparative law and religion, Islamic law, legal pluralism, and family law, and he is a participant in the transnational “JUST - India” research consortium concerning justice and governance in South Asia. As a result of his work with this consortium, Professor Redding spent six months in 2011 at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Paris, where he began work on a book-length manuscript concerning contemporary Islamic legal institutions and their impact on debates about legal pluralism in South Asia, Europe, and North America.
