Just a quick note on an upcoming summer research lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to be held on Monday, July 14th 2014. I meant to post this earlier for those who might have been interested in applying (but forgot).

The all-day workshop will serve as an introduction to the field for students with an interest in Ibāḍī history. The two professors leading the workshop will be Dr. Valerie Hoffman (author of The Essentials of Ibāḍī Islam) & Dr. Adam Gaiser (author of Muslims, Scholars, Soldiers: Origin and Elaboration of the Ibāḍī Imamate Traditions), the two leading scholars in the United States working on Ibāḍī studies.
