INVITATION AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Abstracts are invited for submission to the 1st Muslims in Asia Pacific (MAP) Conference to be jointly hosted by the Centre for Culture-centred Approach to Research and Evaluation (CARE) Massy University in collaboration with Muslim Diversity Study and University of Otago, funded by Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ). The conference seeks to build an opportunity for scholars focusing on topics related to Islam and Muslims living in the context of Asia Pacific to connect, share and discuss the challenges that we have ahead. Our aim is to better understand the scope of research being done in Asia Pacific and Aotearoa NZ in topics related to Muslims and Islam, and to develop our community of researchers, practitioners and advocates, building a sustainable network for research, theorising, and advocacy centred on the experiences of Muslims in the region.

We welcome practitioners, academics, and postgraduate students working on topics directly in, or related to: Muslims, Muslim studies, Critical Muslim studies, Islamophobia, Muslim identity and Muslimness. We would like this event to be inclusive. A range of papers will be accepted that fit under the term “research”, including but not limited to, conceptual papers, empirical studies, reports, and interesting cases.
