CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

Advances in the Study of Islam welcomes book proposals (scholarly monographs and edited volumes) that focus explicitly on new, original and creative approaches to understand, analyse and critically revisit Islamic studies. The series,

·        Highlights both disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches to Islamic studies from religious studies, theology, philosophy, law, history, cultural anthropology and linguistics

The series provides a platform for creative studies spanning:

·        Disciplines including religious studies, legal studies, archaeology and anthropology

·        Theoretical questions including historical, philological, ethnographic, comparative and redescriptive

·        Time periods from late antiquity to the present
