CALL FOR PAPERS
A one-day workshop for postgraduate students working in Qur’anic Studies and related areas throughout the UK will be held on Friday, 24 June 2011 at the Institute of Ismaili Studies, London. The workshop will be run by the IIS' Qur’anic Studies Unit, one of the largest academic units in the UK devoted to the study of the Qur’an and Tafsir (see http://www.qs.iis.ac.uk).

Students interested in presenting a paper at the workshop should email a short abstract (max. 300 words), along with a brief biography and description of his/her thesis by Friday, 8 April 2011. Abstracts will be encouraged from students working on any aspect related to the Qur’an, Tafsir and Hadith, both medieval and contemporary, from the fields in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, Religious Studies and other related fields.
There is no fee for the workshop, but registration is required by Friday 27 May 2011. Lunch and refreshments will also be provided. A limited number of travel grants will be available for those presenting papers at the workshop.
