๐Ÿ“š Presenting the `Islam, Culture and Society` series, from network meeting to book launch

Last Friday, we joined the BASICS network meeting in Ghent, where we presented the volumes in the peer-reviewed `Islam, Culture and Society` series, alongside other related Leuven University Press publications.

Yesterday, we celebrated the launch of `Radical Dreams: French and Belgian Volunteers in the Syrian Revolution` by Montassir Sakhi, the most recent volume in the `Islam, Culture and Society` series. Drawing on interviews with Syrian revolutionaries and European volunteers, the book offers an in-depth study of their experiences, motivations, and trajectories.
