Visiting Fellowships from Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies 2010-2011

The Fellowships are offered to support research in any area of the arts, humanities or social sciences that has relevance to the study of Islam or the Muslim world, particularly anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, law, literature, philosophy, politics, religion and sociology.

Applications would normally be scholars or writers at the postdoctoral or equivalent level, but senior researchers are also eligible. An academic affiliation is not a necessary requirement. Each Fellowship carries a stipend of £4000 and membership of the Common Room. The stipend is intended as a supplementary award and may be held in conjunction wit other research grants, stipends, or sabbatical salaries. Fellowships may be held from 1 October 2010 for up to nine months (though shorter periods will be considered)

Application procedures:

  1. Further details and application forms may be obtained from the Academic Assistant or from the Centre website
  2. Application should include a curriculum vitae and a brief statement of proposed research.
  3. Two letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the Centre.

The closing date for receipt of application is 4th December 2009.

Hello,
We present our site

Have a look to
http://www.islam-documents.org

(which is the improvment of the other islam-documents.com, once based in Tunisia).

There is thousands of texts (around 20 000) about the origins of islam, with a critical, humanist, and scientific view (and even ironical). It is now the bigger “sourcebook” on that subject, with often unpublished documents: Muhammad biographies (SIRA), the main books of traditions (HADITH) , muslim chronicles (TABARI…), companions biographies (TABAQAT), quranic verses, quranic commentaries (TAFSIR).7

A new version is now available, improved and corrected: around 3700 pages. We are working for a new version published every year.

All is in french. so sorry. but you need to read it to understand muslim thinking and acts. Now, you won’t tell again: we just don’t know…

Bye. Take care.

PS: just dare to do the same in your own language!!!
