The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London
The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in December 1977 with
the object of promoting scholarship and learning in Islam, and a better
understanding of its relationship with other faiths, beliefs and practices.
Its programmes are designed to encourage a balanced study of Islam,
and the strength and diversity of the Islamic heritage within the fundamental
unity of faith. They also deal with issues of modernity that arise as
Muslims seek to relate their heritage to the contemporary situation.
In carrying out its programmes, the Institute collaborates with different
universities. It has been affiliated to McGill University since April 1980,
and also works closely with the University of London Institute of Education.
With the co-operation of McGill University, the Institute runs a Department
of Graduate Studies and Research (London and Paris), by whom
the series "Islamic Texts and Contexts" is edited jointly with the Publications
Department.
The views expressed in this series are those of the respective authors.
