Official Launch of the Tokat Institute for Advanced Islamic Studies

We are delighted to announce the official launch of the Tokat Institute for Advanced Islamic Studies—a non-partisan academic institution dedicated to the rigorous and expansive study of the Islamic intellectual tradition. Guided by a team of internationally renowned scholars, the Institute embraces a holistic and integrative approach to Islamic studies, engaging deeply with philosophy, mysticism, rational theology, science, logic, art, and literature.

Among the Institute’s many exciting initiatives are its grants and academic prizes, as well as its live, synchronous courses taught by leading figures in the field, including Professors Seyyed Hossein Nasr, William Chittick, and Oludamini Ogunnaike. 

The Institute will also inaugurate its Fall Online Lecture Series, featuring talks by prominent scholars such as Professors Asma Afsaruddin, Peter Adamson, and Carl Ernst.

We are also proud to announce three major scholarly publishing projects:

• Islamic Intellectual Traditions, a Diamond Open Access journal published in partnership with Brill.
• Studies in Islamic Thought, a Diamond Open Access book series published in partnership with Brill.
• The Tokat Library of Islamic Classics, a translation series published in partnership with Fons Vitae.

These endeavors reflect the Institute’s commitment to fostering academic excellence in every domain pertaining to the study of Islam’s rich intellectual and spiritual heritage.
