American Council for the Study of Islamic Societies
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

American Council for the Study of Islamic Societies
www.acsis.us


The 26th Annual Conference call for papers

The American Council for the Study of Islamic Societies (ACSIS) invites papers by intending participants for presentation at its next annual Conference. The thematic subject of the Conference is: Fourteen Centuries of Islam’s encounter with the West .

The Conference will be held on April 24-25, 2009 at the Wesley Center/Art Gallery, 1210 Stanford Drive , The University of Miami ( Coral Gables campus), FL 33124.

The recent tension between Islam and the West and the media coverage that this topic generated since the tragic events of September 11 th presented Islam as a hostile force and a threat to Western interests. Moreover, the proliferation of literature regarding the imminent “Clash of Civilizations” in the academic community, and in speeches made by Western politicians during the last decade regarding the “Islamic menace” and the imperative of fighting terrorism conveyed the message that the Western encounter with Islam was merely negative throughout the centuries. The purpose of the conference is to provide a more balanced picture of this interaction in all its manifestations, both positive and negative.

The papers presented at the conference are expected to cover the myriad facets of Islam’s relations with the West. The conference is aimed not only at tracing the origins of the conflict between Islam and the West, which goes back to the formative years of Islam but also at emphasizing the positive interaction between them. The papers to be presented in this conference are expected to examine the complex reasons for the episodes of conflict between the two civilizations and to explore the numerous ways in which Islam and the West co-existed and cooperated. Papers emphasizing the legacy of Islam and cultural exchange between the two civilizations would constitute an important contribution to the success of this conference.

Therefore, we invite proposals dealing with the following subtopics:
1. Doctrinal and religious differences and their impact on the relations between
Islam and the West
2. Military encounters between Islam and the West throughout history
3. Intellectual exchange between Islam and the West throughout history
4. Crusades and holy wars and their impact on Muslim-Western relations
5. The impact of Western colonial rule on Islam’s relations with the West
6. The impact of the World Wars on Islam’s relations with the West
7. The impact of the Cold War on Islam’s relations with the West
8. Nuclear proliferation and its impact on Islam’s relations with the West
9. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its impact on Muslim-Western relations
10. The impact of the “Neo-Imperialism” on Islam’s relations with the West

Scholars from all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences are encouraged to submit proposals. Please send proposal abstracts (maximum 250 words) and contact information to Tariq Karim ( atariqk@gmail. com ). Deadline for submission of proposal abstracts is December 1, 2008. (Completed papers will be due March 1, 2009.)

expertise in education. Visits of oncology departments are also part of the
programme as well as the development of a project in groups for presentation

the course will be taking place has granted 5 credits to the course.

The 24 students who will be selected to participate in the course will be
offered free registration and accommodation and will benefit from a travel

Dear colleagues,

The Medical Students’ Society Iasi has the great privilege and joy of inviting you to CONGRESSIS 2009, The 6th International Congress for Medical Students and Young Doctors, which is to be held in the beautiful, historical and lively city of Iasi, Romania between the 9th - 12th of April 2009.

About our previous edition…
Between the 3rd and the 6th of April 2008, at the 5th edition of Congressis, more than 600 representatives of medical universities from Romania and abroad gathered in Iasi, breathing life into one of the most praised congresses for medical students and young doctors in the country.
We are confident that all the participants, be they active or passive, have enjoyed the fulfilling medical and social experience that CONGRESSIS 2008 represented.

We hope that you will do us the honor of being your hosts for this year’s edition of Congressis as well!
By attending Congressis 2009, you will find a real opportunity to exchange opinions on scientific matters, discover new interests both in the medical field and in other cultural areas, make new friendships and research-oriented partnerships, while taking part in:

Scientific sessions

Workshops and Symposia held by our distinguished speakers

an enthusiastically planned Social Program
The entire range of activities that Congressis 2009 offers to its participants is developed around the theme „Challenging Medicine”, an emphasis on the relationship between the health care providers and the recipients of the medical process. The theme will be underlined by a newly introduced section, Bioethics, which, alongside Fundamental Sciences, Surgery and Internal Medicine, will complete the portrait of the future generation of doctors.
The Deadline for Abstract Submission is the 15th of March 2009.
Trusting that you will find our invitation appealing, we are looking forward to welcoming you in Iasi!
