Organizational Structure
The Center brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explore new approaches to Romanization and Islamication in this period and to set scholarly debate on a new footing. It offers a flexible curriculum that allows internationally established scholars, as well as aspiring junior researchers, from across the world to participate for extended or brief periods of time in an inspiring academic atmosphere.
The core group of the RomanIslam Center combines the expert knowledge of two academic disciplines – Ancient History and Islamic Studies – and two theoretical approaches – Comparative Empire Studies and Transcultural Studies – leading to model and theory development.
