Call for Editor-in-Chief and Section Editors: Journal of Islamism Studies (JIS)

Dear Scholars and Researchers,

The Journal of Islamism Studies (JIS) is thrilled to announce the commencement of its publication journey, aiming to bring a fresh and pluralistic perspective to the field of Islamism studies. Our journal seeks to move beyond the narrow confines of merely defending or criticizing Islamism, positioning itself in a "post" phase that elevates this intellectual discourse from local debates to a robust international academic platform.

JIS is an international, peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary journal that will be published annually in both English and Turkish. We are currently preparing for our inaugural issue, scheduled for release in 2027.

Call for Academic Collaboration and Editorial Board

To strengthen our institutional and scholarly infrastructure, we are seeking visionary, competent, and meticulous scholars to join our editorial team in the following roles:
