The Institute of Ismaili Studies’ Summer Programme on Islam – now in it’s 6th year – was held in Montreal, Canada, for the second consecutive summer, from 11-19 August at McGill University. Thirty-one participants from seven countries contributed to the richness and diversity of the programme’s sessions and seminars.
The Summer Programme introduced participants to a multifaceted understanding of Islam and its Shi‘a Ismaili Tariqah, locating it within the broader intellectual, historical, social and political context of human civilisations. The extensive readings and daily programming challenged participants to consider new perspectives on a range of issues from articulating identity to practice of faith.
