Our Objectives
We have created a mailing list for scholars who
may be interested in exchanging academic information related with Islam and Muslim Societies. You will find the
information necessary to be a subscriber to this list. This is a scholarly
network on Islam and Muslim Societies, which facilitates the academic exchange
of information on conferences, panels, articles, books, and events. This
network does not promote the orientalist approach toward Islam and Muslim
Societies. We believe that Islam is a part and parcel of World civilization and
has contributed toward the humanistic value of mankind. However, the last two
hundreds years of human history shows us that Muslim Societies have been
subject to a colonialist process. This process has transformed Islam from its
original meaning and message to that of a reactionary identity. Therefore,
today in Muslim Societies we witness poverty, economic inequality, chaotic
urbanization, corruption, anti-democratic regimes, gender inequality, and
occupations.
The Worldwide Islam Scholars Network promotes
C. Wright Mills’ Sociological Imagination perspectives in relation to Islam and
Muslim Societies. Within this network of Sociologists, Political Scientists,
Religious Studies Scholars, Historians, we will exchange scholarly information
on Islam and Muslim societies.
The Sociology of Islam Academic Mailing list at
Portland State University is a free professional and academic networking tool to encourage interaction
between individuals & organizations involved in Islam/Sociology of
Islam/Islamist Movements and related fields worldwide. Members and subscribers
are encouraged to dialogue and share resources on books, articles, conferences,
teaching, and other related purposes.
