Islamic Mysticism Unit
The Unit would also welcome papers on topics of Islamic Mysticism from under-studied regions such as Central Asia and the Far East (Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.). The Unit continues to welcome papers on philosophical studies of Islamic Mysticism such as Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and other schools of occult thought.
Islamic mysticism is a broad rubric, one that allows us to engage in areas such as Sufism, Shi’i esoteric thought, some aspects of Islamic philosophy, and allegorical interpretations of the Qur’an. The study of Islamic mysticism also allows our members to engage Islamic materials and cultures from many different parts of the world including, but not limited to, Persianate regions, the Arab world, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and North America.
