The UK Islamic Studies Network is organising a cross-disciplinary workshop for those working in Islamic Studies and related disciplines at higher education institutions in Wales and the South West. This event aims to bring together teachers of Islamic Studies from a wide range of disciplines (e.g. Theology and Religious Studies, History, Politics, Literature, Sociology, Anthropology, Law, Business and Finance), and is open to both specialists and non-specialists who teach on modules related to Islam. This will be an opportunity for practitioners to network, gain a sense of the different ways in which Islamic Studies is taught in the regional context, share practice, and discuss region-specific issues in the teaching of Islamic Studies.
Although the workshop is primarily aimed at those working in Islamic Studies in Wales and the South West, participants from other regions are welcome to attend. PhD students involved in teaching are also welcome to attend.
This workshop is free to attend for employees and postgraduates of publicly-funded higher education institutions.
Two free places per institution will be available for employees of private institutions offering modules leading to degrees accredited by publicly-funded higher education institutions; subsequent places will be charged at £50 per person. Please contact us on islamicstudies@heacademy.ac.uk for details of how to register rather than using the online booking system.
Registration will take place from 10.30am, and the workshop will run from 11am-4pm. A draft programme is available below.
Travel bursaries of up to £100 are available for this event. Guidance notes and an application form can be downloaded below.
