2020 CILIS Islamic Studies Postgraduate Conference
Wednesday 25 November, 2020
This conference aims to bring together postgraduate students, from around Australia and overseas, who are researching topics relating to Islam. In 2020, the conference will be held online, via Zoom.
Within a supportive and collegial atmosphere, this conference brings together students and senior academic mentors with similar interests.
Special sessions on thesis-writing and small-group feedback on student research will be included in the program.
Participants will be mentored by leading scholars and researchers, who will also chair the Panels.
Examples of possible presentation and panels include (but are not limited to):
- Islam and Education
- Islamic Thinking
- Muslims and Gender
- Muslims and Modernity
- Islam and Identity

Note: Applicants must be current postgraduate students studying in any research area relating to Islam.
This is an online conference, so we have made some changes to procedures to ensure you are able to participate fully in the conference discussions.
- The conference sessions will be ‘live’ and will take place via Zoom.
- The conference will be recorded.
- Presenters will present for 15 minutes, talking about the main aspects, issues and arguments of the papers.
- The rest of the session will be devoted to discussion about all papers.
- Participants can type their questions in the 'Chat' section of Zoom, or can use the 'raise hand' function to ask a question.
- Directly after each Panel, the Mentor and Panel members will go into a ‘breakout room’ to further discuss the papers.
