Allameh Tabataba'i University (the largest public university specialized in humanities and social sciences in Iran) is pleased to hold the first international conference on 'Social Policy in the Islamic World' in May 2018. Lack of a comprehensive social policy agenda is seriously felt amid profound political upheavals in Muslim countries; hence this conference represents a timely response by the academic community. While focusing on this specific agenda, the conference themes have been designed in a way to cover a broad range of related topics from a multidisciplinary perspective and therefore welcome both individual papers and closed panels from researches engaged in various aspects of social policy.
