IIS Short Courses

IIS Short Courses are designed to introduce participants to a social, cultural and civilisational approach to the study of Islam and Muslim societies, with a particular focus on Ismaili contexts. The IIS will offer three online and two face-to-face courses at the Aga Khan Centre in London, and four field-based short courses. Online short courses will be offered on alternate days with each day lasting around four hours using the Zoom platform.

This course is designed to explore different understandings of the notion of culture: both as ways of life and as the products of intellectual and artistic creativity, and why they need to be nurtured, renewed and passed on to future generations.
