Research Related Activities
 AKU-ISMC holds many research related activities including workshops, seminars and conferences throughout the year. These have included two series of seminars on pluralism in Muslim contexts, a conference on cosmopolitanism, a seminar on governance and development and a conference on higher education in developing countries. Discussing Cities, a discussion series on issues related to the lived and built environment, was launched in 2008.
Pluralism Seminar Series - The Possibility of Pluralism in Muslim Contexts
With the objective of encouraging engagement with the notion of pluralism and its specific relevance to Muslim societies, AKU-ISMC organised two series of seminars held in London and Karachi. Approaches to Pluralism was held between 2003 and 2004, and The Possibility of Pluralism between 2005 and 2007.
The seminars covered a range of themes including: the negotiation of private and public spaces in Muslim contexts; civil society; historiography of arts in muslim contexts; and multiculturalism, secularism and pluralism.
