‘Shii News Chats’ aims to profile academics across the world whose research focuses on Shiism and Shii communities across the world. These thereby highlight the diversity of the researchers but also the diversity of the faith and its practitioners.

These can be found on the menu along the top of the site’s main page.

The second of these, with Simon Fuchs, lecturer in Islamic and Middle East Studies at the University of Freiburg, Germany, is now available via this link.

Panels of special interest to ‘Shii News’ subscribers include:

‘Hadith: Sunni and Shi’i Constellations’;
‘Islamic Law Between History and Praxis’;
‘Sufism and Alid Devotion’;
‘New direction in Shiʿi Studies’
