Shii News – Hybrid Event: Edinburgh: ‘Shi’i Islam: Doctrinal Foundations and Historical Developments’ – M A Amir-Moezzi (27.5.2024)
W.M. Watt Lecture
Arabic has been taught at the University of Edinburgh for over 260 years, and today our department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (IMES) is globally recognised as a leading centre in the field.
From his appointment as Lecturer in Arabic in 1947, until his retirement as Professor in 1979, William Montgomery Watt made an outstanding contribution both to Islamic scholarship and to the development of IMES.
The inaugural Watt Lecture was launched in November 2015 to mark the 50th anniversary of Watt’s Inaugural Lecture as the first Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Scotland.
The 2024 lecture
We are delighted to welcome Professor Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi (École Pratique des Hautes Études – Sorbonne) to deliver the seventh annual W.M. Watt Lecture.
