A facility for original academic research, AKU-ISMC is a hub for intellectual exchange and dialogue about and between Muslim societies and cultures. The Institute’s mandate, implemented in part by its publications programme is a unique attempt to respond to current trends of thought about Islam, Muslims and Muslim societies.
Publications at AKU-ISMC focus on generating new ways of thinking about Muslim civilisations by bringing to the fore representative points of view from various Muslim contexts.
Further Information
Published in partnership with Edinburgh University Press, these publications are available across the United Kingdom in all major bookstores and can also be purchased online.
AKU-ISMC plans to expand its Publications Programme to include a range of publications which will act as a catalyst for new and alternative discussions about Muslim cultures.
