The inaugural IIS/AKU-ISMC Graduate Conference: Methodologies in Islamic Studies is a pioneering collaboration between The Institute of Ismaili Studies and the Aga Khan University – Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations to showcase student-led research at both institutions.

The conference features a wide range of speakers from the IIS and AKU-ISMC programmes presenting on various topics in Islamic studies. The presentations are divided into four thematic panels:

  • Medieval Ismailis and Peoples Under their Rule
  • Contemporary Ismaili Communities
  • Rethinking Islamic History
  • Living Islam and Muslim Engagements with the World

Presentations will be followed by a concert entitled “Musical Aesthetics of the Muslim World” (please register separately).

The IIS/AKU-ISMC Graduate Conference will be streamed to the Global Jamat and other constituents of the IIS and AKU-ISMC around the world via Zoom
