Understanding Central Asian Islam: contemporary research standards

A workshop on contemporary academic standards in researching Central Asian Islam will take place on 12-13 September at the OSCE Academy in Bishkek. The annual event, which was first held in 2011, is to bring together the leading experts on Central Asian Islam and young Central Asian scholars to discuss the concept of Islam in the regional context. The seminar is a combination of a presentation of latest research results on the topic and a discussion of new research ideas, notably those proposed by the junior Central Asian scholars.
