Research Track 1:
Renewal within Humanities and Social Sciences
This research track is concerned with undertaking a process of review and restructure within Humanities and Social Sciences by highlighting current shortcomings in their underpinning theoretical orientations and engaging in a localization, indigenization, and regionalization process to make them more responsive and relevant to the Arab and Islamic realities and context. This ‘renewal’ project will result in various research activities as well as a series of international academic symposia that will tackle each of the various social science.
Research Track 2:
Political Concepts Within the Contemporary Islamic Discourse (a Reading of Outcomes and Impacts)
This research track is rooted in one of the core strategic domains governing the work of Ibn Khaldon Centre; that is, ‘bridging’. It calls for bridging between and within the Social Sciences. Through this project, the Centre will seek to bridge the gap between Political Science and Islamic studies towards developing convenient political concepts within an Islamic context. This project will generate a series of scientific/scholarly research and international symposia.
