***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Christina, If you are interested in Religion (especially Islam) and networks, you might have a look at the following publications of our Junior Research Group "Islamic networks in local and transnational contexts 18th-20th centuries" at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. (Volkswagen Foundation) We published a small booklet (180 p.) on our current projects in 2002, and there is the following (first) dissertation (Everything in German!!!): Thomas Eich: Abu l-Huda as-Sayyadi: Eine Studie zur Instrumentalisierung sufischer Netzwerke und genealogischer Kontroversen im spätosmanischen Reich. Berlin 2003. There are two other publications which combine Islamic studies and SNA: Roman Loimeier (ed.): Die islamische Welt als Netzwerk: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Netzwerkansatzes . Würzburg 2000. And one in English(!): Stefano Allievi / Jorgen Nielsen: Muslim networks and transnational communities in and across Europe. Leiden 2003. I hope this helps you.
