In 2008, Melbourne University Publishing announced a new research publication series promoting scholarly studies on Islam. Published under MUP’s Academic Monograph Series, the Islamic Studies Series (ISS) offers a welcome opportunity for Australia-based scholars to bring their research activity to the attention of the national and international academic community. It is hoped that the series will contribute to the consolidation of the community of scholars on Islamic and Muslim affairs, and serve as a tool to showcase Australian research excellence internationally.
The ISS Series Editor is Associate Professor Shahram Akbarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies at the University of Melbourne.
