Peripheral Islam: Muslims on the Geographical, Normative, Political and Religious Margins

It is doubtful whether the Arab world should actually be seen as central to Muslims worldwide. One could easily make the case that the periphery – in all its diversity – is actually more important from a geographical point of view.

This Spring School focusses on these results of Muslims living, working and writing in the periphery and welcomes papers that show how, where and why peripheral Muslims – varying from marginalised areas and controversial scholars to ostracised politicians and heterodox sects – have shaped this periphery and have been shaped by this periphery.

Please note that NISIS has funding available to cover travel- and accommodation costs for a limited amount of students, provided they choose environmentally friendly means of transport. In other words: we do sponsor train tickets; flights, however, are excluded.
