Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures
The International Development Research Center (IDRC) awarded EWIC a grant
in 2005 to update and expand its EWIC Scholars database for on-line publication
for free public access on the EWIC website. This important service to the
international community of scholars and practitioners is crucial for information
dissemination, networking and knowledge building. If your research and expertise
is relevant to women and Islamic cultures and you are interested in being
included in the scholars database, please fill out the contributor
template. Those authors who have already filled out a contributor
template, please fill out a new template with any updates you would like us
to have on record. A new, updated template will be posted to the EWIC website
in September.
