The Muslims in Asia-Pacific (MAP) Conference Series is a pioneering platform dedicated to advancing research, dialogue, and collaboration on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Muslim communities across the Asia-Pacific region. Initiated in Aotearoa New Zealand, the MAP conferences bring together scholars, practitioners, students, and community leaders to explore critical issues spanning education, health, media, youth, wellbeing, identity, and social integration.
Hosted in partnership with leading academic institutions and community organizations, the MAP Conference Series aims to:
- Foster Interdisciplinary Research: Highlighting cutting-edge studies from diverse fields including social sciences, humanities, public health, and policy research.
- Bridge Academia and Community: Translating research into actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and community leaders.
- Build Sustainable Networks: Creating a lasting scholarly and advocacy network for Muslim communities across the Asia-Pacific.
- Support Emerging Scholars: Encouraging participation from postgraduate and early-career researchers through mentorship and research accelerator programs.
Since its inaugural event in 2025, the MAP Conference Series has become a cornerstone for Muslim academic scholarship in the region, advancing knowledge, amplifying voices, and strengthening communities.
