Devon, the DEI and the World of Islam

Starting our 2022/2023 evening lecture series following the theme 'A sense of place' Paul Auchterlonie and Professor Ian Netton will be giving us a talk on 'Devon, the DEI and the World of Islam'.

Doors open 6.00pm for welcome drinks, the talk will begin at 6.30pm and will be followed by a buffet supper.

Tickets are £25 for the evening. Members are welcome to bring guests.

The talk will explore the links between Devon and the World of Islam and how these links have changed over time. Paul Auchterlonie will be using examples of books held by the DEI to explore the changing nature of the relationship, while Ian will be using his expertise is Islamic studies, his long experience of the Arab World, and his involvement in the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies from its earliest days to comment on the subjects of the books and to place the relationship in a wide context.

Apart from a short spell as Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Leeds, Ian Netton has been based at the University of Exeter since 1976. He is the author or editor of almost 25 books on Arabic and Islamic themes, and is now Emeritus Professor of Islamic Studies at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter.

Paul Auchterlonie was Librarian for Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter from 1981 until his retirement in 2011, and is the author of Encountering Islam, a study and edition of a unique work on Islam by Exeter author, Joseph Pitts.
