4. SEMINAR - 'INTEREST FREE? ATTITUDES OF AUSTRALIAN AND BRITISH  
MUSLIMS TOWARDS CONVENTIONAL AND ISLAMIC BANKING'

   The Centre for Islamic Law & Society (University of Melbourne) has  
organised a seminar titled, 'Interest Free? Attitudes of Australian  
and British Muslims towards Conventional and Islamic Banking.' This  
seminar will look at how Muslims in Australia and the UK negotiate the  
rule of interest or /riba/. This seminar argues that despite religious  
controversy, regulatory constraints, and lack of uniformity in Muslim  
community responses, Islamic banking has proved itself to be both  
dynamic and creative, and will continue to grow.  

   The speaker is Imran Lum, PhD student of Asia Institute (University  
of Melbourne).

5. SEMINAR - 'MUSLIM WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA AND THE CHALLENGES OF SECURING  
A COMPLETE DIVORCE'

   The Centre for Islamic Law & Society (University of Melbourne) has  
organised a seminar titled, 'Muslim Women in Australia and the  
Challenges of Securing a /Complete/ Divorce' This seminar is based  
upon qualitative interviews with divorced Muslim women, local  
religious authorities, Muslim women's support groups and legal  
networks in Australia. This seminar argues that although some women  
may feel powerless in their attempts to gain a Muslim divorce from  
local religious authorities, women in the sample determinedly sought  
other ways to achieve a 'complete' divorce, utilising avenues  
including social mechanisms, statutory laws of Muslim and Western  
countries and new interpretations of shariah texts.

   The speaker is Anisa Buckley, PhD student of Asia Institute  
(University of Melbourne).

    

   Date:    Wednesday 10th September, 2008

Time:    2:15pm - 3:30pm
