The Evening’s Programme:

Join us for the 1st lecture of the AKU-ISMC Guest Professor Programme in which Professor Aaron Hughes will address a pressing issue facing modern liberal democracies, imagined as particularly acute in the aftermath of 9/11: when and how to accommodate religious minorities. The latter are often subsumed under the rather problematic and open-ended rubric “Muslims.” This has resulted in numerous political and legal attempts to confront, categorise, and ultimately control internal Muslim communities, just as it has been used to keep external ones at bay.
Please see below (and linked here) a Call For Papers for "The Urgency of the Digital," a special issue of the International Journal of Islamic Architecture to be published uly 2025. We welcome submissions from practitioners, urbanists, art historians, specialists in literary and religious studies, archivists, librarians, data scientists, software developers, anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, and historians whose work resonates with the topic.
