Islam is far from a monolithic religious tradition. We will debate a wide range of perspectives on the various facets of Islamic Reform and modernization in the 18th-21st centuries. Students will learn to appreciate the diversity of Islamic thought in the contemporary world and its manifestations in daily practice, and in social, political, regional, and international conflicts.
