The Chair in Islamic Studies

                    

                        

Huron University College is pleased to announce the establishment of The Chair in Islamic Studies.

Situated in the Faculty of Theology at Huron University College, The Chair in Islamic Studies is a major breakthrough in Islamic Studies in Canadian and indeed North American universities.

The Chair builds on the long-standing relationship between Huron University College and the Muslim community. Continuing Huron’s tradition of building bridges between the Anglican and Muslim religious communities, a relationship that dates back to The Rev. Dr. John Morden’s tenure as Principal of Huron from 1962 until 1984, the purpose of the Chair is to bring to Huron University College a scholar with exceptional academic credentials who can also represent an authentic voice within the Muslim community.

With the establishment of The Chair in Islamic Studies, the Muslim Community in Canada takes great pride in achieving academic leadership as well as religious leadership to develop deep roots and integration in the fabric of Canadian society, building on and celebrating Islamic tradition.

We are grateful for your support in this historic endeavour and will keep you informed of our progress.
