The MELC Club is thrilled to launch the new semester with a full lineup of events!

We’re kicking things off with the Graduate Students Colloquium—a welcoming space where graduate students share their research, exchange ideas, and receive thoughtful feedback from peers and faculty. Everyone in the MELC community is warmly invited to join.

Our first session features Rhatib Karkoutli, who will present “The World as Shadow of God: On the Role of ‘Adam in Ibn ‘Arabī’s Metaphysics.” His talk explores how non‑existence functions within Ibn ‘Arabī’s cosmological vision.

📅 Friday, February 6
⏰ 3:30–5:00 PM

We hope to see you there!
