ISIS is a collaboration of eight Dutch universities that all attach great importance to the study of Islam. Its main aim is to combine the social scientific approach to the study of Islam, which has been greatly stimulated over the last years, with the more classical humanities approach, so that they can enhance one another. On Friday April 16th, the Interuniversity Research School for Islam Studies (ISIS) organises its opening conference ‘Studying Islam: Text and Context’.
The Anthropology Day 2009 will address the complex relations between religion and conflict. In public debate, religion – especially Islam – is considered a prime source and trigger of contemporary conflict.

How can anthropologists contribute to this fascinating and important theme?
On 27 November Thijl Sunier will deliver his inaugural lecture for the chair of ‘Islam in European Societies’. Before this lecture a seminar on Islam in Europe is organised on the occasion.
