Codification on the Swahili coast
This project workshop will explore the phenomenon of Islamic codification on the Swahili coast in the late pre-colonial and colonial period.
Main content

The participants are Elke Stockreiter (American University,Washington DC), Mohamed Noor (UiB)(zoom), Pelle Valtenin Olsen (UiB), Mahmood Kooria (Leiden University), Kubra Nugay (UiB), Anne Bang (UiB), Knut Vikør (UiB), Eirik Hovden (UiB)
