Hybrid conference “Druze in the Levant and the Diaspora – Discourses of Tradition and Modernity” — University of Kansas and online, 16-17 October 2025

The Druze Studies Journal and the Druze Studies Project at the University of Kansas are pleased to present our 2025 international event:  Hybrid, Bilingual, and Interdisciplinary Conference—“Druze in the Levant and the Diaspora – Discourses of Tradition and Modernity.”

The conference features online and in-person sessions showcasing original research on the Druze in the Levant, a dedicated session on Druze diaspora communities, a roundtable of experts addressing the challenges faced by the Druze in Syria, a keynote speaker, a book forum, and a workshop for graduate students.

We are committed to open access scholarship. We publish the Druze Studies Journal in a diamond open access format, providing free and unrestricted access for both authors and readers. This core principle also guides our conference, demonstrating our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. Thanks to our sponsors at the University of Kansas (listed at the end of this page), we offer free admission to the conference and language interpretation for most sessions. After the event, we will share session recordings and collaborate with presenters to ensure their work is publicly available on the conference website.

To attend the event in person, please join us in Room 455, Watson Library, 1425 Jayhawk Blvd, Lawrence, KS. Please see the program for details.
