This workshop provided a forum for graduate students writing dissertations on Islam or the Muslim world. It featured selected students who presented work in progress to an audience consisting of both faculty and graduate students. The event also provided opportunities for graduate students in the field to meet one another as well as established scholars. AALIMS plans to organize graduate student workshops periodically at various locations.
