Over the past three years, this flagship programme has brought together renowned faculty and a diverse participant group for a vibrant two weeks of lectures, debates, discussions, film screenings and cultural events. Date: 18-29 July 2011, London. Providing a platform to explore the rich historical and contemporary diversities within Muslim cultures, this Programme is offered in partnership with the Centre for the Comparative Study of Muslim Societies and Cultures, Simon Fraser University. It alternates between London and Vancouver and is now in its fourth year. The first week provides an overview of topics such as the Qur’an, the life of the Prophet, the formation of the Muslim community, civil society, law, gender and literature. The second week explores the diversity of ways in which people interpret and practice Islamic ideas in a variety of contexts. Through the study of Sufi practices, artistic traditions, architectural forms, gender roles, musical expressions, as well as legal and ritual varieties, these sessions will focus on “local expressions” of being Muslim. As a whole, the Programme will provide participants with a grounded introduction to the creativity and ever-expanding diversity of Muslim societies. Admission to the Summer Programme is based on the information provided on your application form, in particular the personal statement in the application form. The deadline for receipt of applications is 1 July 2011, although earlier submissions are encouraged as spaces are limited. Applications received after this date will be added to a waiting list.

It is intended to bring together people from across the three subject areas of Crusade, Byzantine and Islamic history to generate scholarly contacts and to give an insight into the workings and approaches of these fields; it will also provide participants with an opportunity to have their work analysed by contemporaries and a panel of distinguished commentators. The conference will discuss pre-circulated papers of 5,000 words. Interested parties should, in the first instance, send a proposal of 500 words to one of the convenors listed below by 30 October 2010. Completed papers will be required by 30 April 2011 for circulation. The conference will also feature full-length lectures by leading scholars. Those who wish to listen and comment on the papers, rather than presenting their own work, are very welcome to attend. They are invited to contact schenk@ghil.ac.uk by 30 June 2011 and are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the content in advance.

Oxford University Conveners: Dr Hein de Haas (IMI, QEH), Dr Hélène Thiollet (DPIR/Scs Po), Dr Leïla Vignal (MEC/Oriental Studies) A Recent empirical evidence seems to challenge the common idea that GCC countries represent an 'exception' with respect to migration issues. This also raises the question of whether the ongoing social process of migrant settlement will gradually force GCC states to adapt their policies to these new realities on the ground. The workshop will challenge the «exceptionalism» of the Gulf, on the basis of new theoretical and analytical approaches in both migration studies and in Gulf Studies research. Registration before 16 June.
