Second International Symposium on Diversity and Unity in Transnational Shi’a Islam
The Second International Symposium on Diversity and Unity in Transnational Shi’a Islam (May 9th - 13th, 2022) builds off a landmark symposium hosted at Harvard University in 2021 by the Weatherhead Center’s Project on Shi’ism & Global Affairs that focused on bringing together interdisciplinary voices from across various interpretations of Shi'a Islam in both contemporary and historical contexts. This forthcoming weeklong symposium will host five panels with leading scholars in the field who study the diversity of Shi’a thought and communities across denominational lines including Zaydi, Ismaili, Alevi, Alawite, Bektashi, and Twelver Ja’fari Islam, and more.
Each day of the symposium will feature a single panel on a specific topic which will be held online via Zoom. The symposium is free and open to the public. The full schedule of the symposium can be found here.
