The Islamic e-Journal  was founded in collaboration with the Ilex Foundation (http://www.ilexfoundation.org/ILEX/) who have generously funded the journal, and will be housed at BU's Institute for the Study of Muslim Societies &#38; Civilizations.  The new e-Journal will serve as a resource for advancing both a deeper and broader knowledge of Islamic civilizations.Development of the online journal is complete, and now the last piece of the puzzle is to find an Interlocutor to bring the journal to life. The Interlocutor will work with an editorial board to commission original (and previously published) work in Islamic Studies, and will be tasked with the ongoing management and nurturing of the journal.
