Register for the event on Zoom About the research seminar series This IMES Research Seminar Series is entitled "De-centring (the study of) Shiʿism" and builds on recent calls to “de-centre Shiʿism” (M. Künkler and M. Clarke, 2018). It brings together a range of perspectives on historical and contemporary topics that move beyond the cores and hierarchies within Shi‘ism – whether temporal, geographical, textual or sociological – which have long been assumed and given prominence in the field of Shiʿi studies. The Series also explores avenues to open up the field beyond its Shiʿi-centric confines and encourage more dialogue with the fields of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies more broadly. How to join Lectures are free and everyone is welcome. In the interests of audience and speaker wellbeing during Covid-19, and in line with our sustainability objectives, they will be held online using Zoom. Registration is required so that you can be sent joining instructions and links in advance. If you have any queries, please contact the convenor of the series, Elvire Corboz.
