The "Early Sciences in the Islamic World" Reading Group meets monthly to discuss primary sources and scholarship related to various relevant themes. Readings are chosen based on participants’ own research activities in order to illuminate methodological and theoretical issues raised in the group's ongoing discussions. Topics vary and address different aspects of the Islamic sciences broadly, across regions and time periods. In particular, the group emphasizes material culture and practices, as well as new approaches in the field. The reading group also invites scholars from outside the Institute to lead sessions on selected themes.
This reading group is open to the public. For venue information please contact Anthony Quickel.
