Hassan Asif

I'm Hassan Asif, a scholar of digital religion and media. I study what happens when digital technology meets religious life: how people make, edit, share, and remix devotional sound, sermons, and sacred images across platforms, and how that work reshapes doctrine, authority, and aesthetic form.

My work sits where platform studies, sound studies, and digital religion meet, and it moves across sound and image. I work qualitatively, through ethnography, close reading of audiovisual remixes, and media genealogy, with fieldwork across South Asia, the Gulf, East Asia, and Europe.

I also teach, from global copyright to religion in popular culture.
