Project funding: Teaching about Islam and Muslims in languages, linguistics and area studies

• Closing date: 18 Feb 2011
• Funding body: Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies

The Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) has issued a call for project bids relating to teaching about Islam and Muslims in languages, linguistics and area studies.  Up to four projects will be funded, and the maximum amount that an individual project can apply for is £3,000.  The deadline for applications is 18 February 2011.

Applications are welcome from colleagues in all aspects of languages, linguistics and area studies and from Islamic Studies specialists and non-specialists. Projects from colleagues teaching about Islam and Muslim in languages and area studies outside the 'Muslim World', e.g. Muslim writers in Europe, US-Middle East diplomatic relations or Muslims in Eastern Europe are particularly welcomed.

All projects should relate to the Islamic Studies Network’s goal to build a sustainable network for academics working in Islamic Studies to share good practice in teaching and learning.
