Papers are invited on all the diverse aspects of Shiism and sectarian relations. Relevant sub-themes include (but are not limited to) those mentioned above, ranging from pre-modern to modern Islam and from the majority-Shiʿi regions in the Persian Gulf to Shiʿi minority communities elsewhere (including in the West).
Papers may take a text-based approach, have their roots in ethnographic fieldwork, be based on political theory, or take another academic approach.
