IIS/AKU-ISMC Graduate Conference: Challenges in Muslim Societies

The second annual IIS/AKU-ISMC Graduate Conference: Challenges in Muslim Societies is a collaboration between The Aga Khan University- Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations and the Institute of Ismaili Studies 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:

• Identity and Making Space

• Media and Representation

• Oppression and Strife

• Ismaili Intellectual History

The presentations will be followed by a live concert, exclusive to attendees of the conference.

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.

Please note filming and photography may take place during the event, and be used across our website, newsletters and social media accounts. These could include broad shots of the audience and lecture theatre, speakers during the talk, and of audience members participating in Q&A.
