Applications are invited from graduate students working on their
Masters or PhDs for up to 24 places on a research ‘master class’. The
research school will be staffed by four senior academics, one from
each of the organizing institutions. Each participant will submit a
research paper in advance, which will normally be a draft chapter from
their thesis/dissertation, plus an overall outline of the research
project identifying the topic, main research questions, theoretical
and methodological issues and a tentative chapter outline.

The research submitted should fall within the theme indicated by the
heading and may come from any relevant discipline. This includes
fields of research such as migration and Muslim communities in Europe
and North America, Islam and pluralism (religious, legal, social,
political) in the Middle East, contemporary developments in Islamic
thinking about pluralisms whether theoretical or locally
contextualized, the routes and mechanisms by which experiences and
ideas connect localities mutually and globally, especially via
electronic media. These suggestions are not exclusive, and applicants
will need to indicate how their topics may contribute to the project
theme.

The programme will take place over two weeks and will consist of four elements:
- Four parallel workshops on sub-themes, each led by a staff member,
bringing together up to six participants. Each participant will have a
half-day (3-hour) session to present and discuss their pre-submitted
papers.
- Four plenary sessions at which each of the staff members will
present current research-in-progress for open discussion.
- A series of discussion meetings with significant and interesting
local researchers and personalities of relevance to the field.
- Excursions to sites and institutions of interest within and outside Damascus.

The programme will be staffed by Prof. Todd Lawson, Toronto; Dr Hans
Christian Korsholm Nielsen, Damascus; Prof. Jørgen S. Nielsen,
Copenhagen; Prof. Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen, Copenhagen
