Our member, Turquoise Mountain, recently hosted a session at the Museum of Oxford for the #MarmaladeFestival in partnership with the #SkollWorldForum.
The session discussed our #StoryLands digital archive, which explores identity through objects in a world shaped by migration✨

Harvard’s Muslim chaplains condemned a Harvard Republican Club post criticizing an Eid celebration, calling it “abhorrent” & “Islamophobic” in an email to Muslim affiliates — marking the first public rebuke of the post from University employees.

This is a magical book. One of the brightest heirs of Eaton's paradigm. Islam as environmental history, as labour history, as multiverse; vocalized in Malay, Tamil, Hokkien, Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic, Persian, English, etc.

Westerners often miss that Islam in South East Asia is a syncretization of local culture, folk traditions and Chinese influences which make it very different from Middle Eastern tradition.

Browne also often wrote to Goldziher in Persian. In fact, in this letter dated Feb 11 1894, he switches from Arabic to Persian, apologising for the mistakes in his Arabic.
I love this: the Cambridge Persianist Edward Granville Browne writing to Ignaz Goldziher in Arabic rhymed prose (sajʿ). Let’s bring this back among Arabist colleagues!
