Islamic Studies Network

The Islamic Studies Network brings together those working in Islamic Studies from a wide range of disciplines to enhance teaching and learning in UK higher education. 

Islamic Studies is an umbrella term for the academic study of Islam, Muslim cultures and societies and Islamic knowledge through a variety of subject areas and perspectives.

We provide opportunities for academics and students to network and share practice through events, project grants and publications.  We also encourage the development and sharing of a wide range of resources relevant to research and teaching in Islamic Studies. You can keep up to date with our activities by reading the latest news on our website or by joining the Network.

Invitation to tender for an evaluation of activities of the UK Islamic Studies Network 2009-2012

We would like to invite organisations to submit a tender to complete the evaluation of the project over the three-year funding period.

The evaluation will focus on activity carried out over the course of the project, including both cross-disciplinary and discipline-specific activity. This has included: an inaugural event in May 2010; eight cross-disciplinary workshops; two residential workshops for PhD students; funding of fourteen teaching and learning development projects; producing a quarterly online newsletter and biannual publication; developing a website and opportunities for online networking; and building and maintaining a mailing list and JISCmail discussion list. In addition discipline-specific teams (e.g. in Languages, Law, Business, and the Social Sciences) have carried out a variety of activities, including special interest group meetings and discipline-specific workshops, and production of discipline-specific resources.
