The conference focused on the growing number of women active teaching, preaching, interpreting scriptures, or leading prayer in mosques or madrassas around the world. The network is open to scholars studying any aspects of female religious leadership in Islam, and therefore includes topics outside the conference's purview, for instance, the reinterpretation of Islamic scriptures by women who are primarily active outside of mosques and madrassas. Network members study Islamic communities around the world and are active in a wide variety of disciplines, including Islamic Studies, Women’s Studies, Development Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Political Science, History and Area Studies. They are based at universities around the world, including in the United Kingdom, United States, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. Successes and Challenges: The large response to the call for papers for this conference made it clear that academic interest in this topic is high and increasing, and also that academics working on this topic are divided by an unusually large number of disciplinary boundaries. A virtual network with a mailing list is an ideal way to connect scholars interested in this topic.
