oversubscribed.
There was a consistent||
|benefits to society as a|||||mix ofstudents,
some new to Ibn Arabi and||
|whole.|||||some who had previous experience.
This||
||||||contributed
to a very supportive
and||
||||||creative learning
environment.
Feedback||
||||||received from students
indicated that the||
||||||course content and learning
experience||
||||||provided
significant
benefit.
Many students||
||||||signed
up for second or third courses
in||
||||||order to continue
studying
with the Society.||
||||||The emphasis
on creativity, for example||
||||||poetry, painting
and music, has led to a lot||
||||||oforiginal material
being produced.||
||||||Interdisciplinary
Research Hub: the primary||
||||||purpose ofthe IRH is to provide aspace||
||||||where students
and researchers,
from||
||||||diverse disciplinary
backgrounds,
can meet||
||||||to share their research and engage with the||
||||||works of lbn 'Arabi. The Hub has brought||
||||||together students
from around the world||
||||||forming a vibrant community
which||
||||||regularly
meets online to give presentations||
||||||and develop their research.||
||||||The collaboration
with King's College,||
||||||London, which was part ofthe University's||
||||||'Language
Acts and Worldmaking'
project,||
||||||saw the Society's participation
in a||
||||||programme
which is co-sponsored
by The||
||||||Open University,
University
ofWestminster,||
||||||Queen
Mary University,
the Arts and||
||||||Humanities
Research Council and the Open||
||||||World Research Initiative.
The multi-||
||||||disciplinary
event brought together students||
||||||and scholars
in a celebration
of Ibn Arabi's||
||||||contribution
to the creative imagination.||
||||||The collaboration
with Uskudar
University,||
||||||Istanbul, saw the Society co-host aseries|of|
||||||seminars
given
in English, Arabic and||
||||||Turkish.
In so doing, the Society's talks||
||||||were available
in different languages
and||
||||||were attended
by new audiences.||
||||||The Society also collaborated
with the||
||||||University
ofTurin, the Warburg
Institute||
||||||{UK),the Circulo dei Lettori Torino and INIAS||
||||||Latina to put on a one-day
live symposium||

These videos are now||

viewed

extending
the reach ofour||

has seen a dramatic increase|in|

|Ibn Arabi.
The Society's book sales have||
|increased to meet this demand,
with||
|editions
being sold worldwide.||
|The Facebook Group has expanded
to||
|13,000 members.||
|Translation
Prize: given the significant||

and lay interest
in English||
|translations
of Ibn 'Arabi's writings
it is||

greater engagement
with the||
