Conferences

IMSC PanelTo disseminate new scholarship in the field of global Islamic studies, the center holds conferences and colloquia on a wide range of subjects throughout the academic year that are often linked to larger research projects. The center also sponsors conferences in partnership with other departments at George Mason University as well as organizations and other universities located in the Washington metropolitan area.

In the same vein of fulfilling its research mission, the center has sponsored and hosted several workshops, bringing together distinguished international scholars with the center's faculty and graduate students. These sessions provide for intellectual exchanges on a smaller and more intense basis than what occurs at larger conferences.
