On 25 September 2026, Ghent University will host the Belgian Association for the Study of Islam, Culture and Society (BASICS) for a full day of academic exchange.
The programme includes parallel panel sessions, a keynote lecture "Middle East Studies in the Age of Catastrophe" by well-known Prof Sherene Seikaly (UC Santa Barbara), and a concluding discussion, followed by an informal reception.
The event brings together scholars working on Islam, culture, history, politics and society, and offers an opportunity to connect across disciplines.
Registration is required.
